At this time, it appears the worst of the severe weather will be near and east of the Mississippi River late Tuesday morning into the afternoon. This means far eastern and southeastern Arkansas may have an elevated chance for severe storms with damaging winds and even a tornado or two possible. Once the developing line of storms crosses into Mississippi and Tennessee, the line is expected to intensify.
