.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday Night)
Issued at 339 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024

Active weather will continue across the Four State Region through
the rest of the week. A slow-moving frontal boundary will keep the
atmosphere disturbed (and environmentally conducive) enough to 
instigate multiple rounds of severe weather in the next 48 hours, 
including tonight and tomorrow afternoon/evening. Severe 
thunderstorms will produce risks predominantly for large hail and 
damaging winds, but a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out. As of 
3:15 PM, SPC has issued downstream Tornado Watches into the 
ArkLaTex accordingly through 10 PM. Otherwise, temperatures will 
remain above average with maximums in the lower 90s/lower 70s.
