5:15pm The approaching line of storms is weakening as it moves closer, but once it gets near/east of the MS River, an uptick in intensity is forecast. SPC says areas just to our north are likely to receive a watch box soon. Unknown if it will include parts of the metro.

4:30pm Storms in central AR are strong with Severe T'storm Warnings and an isolated Tornado Warning. The tornado threat is lower locally and the line will encounter slightly more stable air as it moves east. Still looking at storms with a wind threat between 7-10pm though.
