           These hit and miss showers, and popup summer thunderstorms tend to be pretty violent at times. They will cycle and die out when the sun goes down and they lose the heating of the hot summer afternoons. But while the storms are in their prime they can become quite strong. Not Severe type strong but when it comes down to driving and traveling in one of them it can be quite bothersom. Flash flooding tends to become a threat as these storms can dump lots of rain at one time in one area. That raises the flash flooding concern. Best advice would be to just hunker down and stay indoors while these storms move thru. Lightning is also something else that should be watchedvery cautiously.  Lightning is the number 1 killer in nature.    I am the Arkansas Weather Hawk.

        Hey guys how's it going! Just wanted to share some summer weather safety advice. Arkansas Heat can be Very dangerous in the summer time. And if you're not careful you can get heat exhaustion and pass out or even worse die from the intense summer sun. It's not as far fetched as it sound. Lots of people young people especially, tend to think that they'll be fine or simply not care. And that's a quick way of getting yourself hurt from the heat.     Advice- Drink LOT'S of Water or Liquids, Get Good or Decent Rest, Avoid going out during the hottest parts of the day, Do not Wear too many layors if you do go out, wear sunscreen. Exposed Skin can be painful in the hot sun. Get cool whenever possible. If at all possible help others that are not properly prepared for the summer heat.  Guys I appreciate you for choosing me to be your go to guy for weather information. I will do another post later regarding possible rain chances. So stay tuned. Y'all enjoy

      Hey everybody, how's it going. Well I neee to inform you about some severe weather that could possibly be moving into the state today. Now The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) In Norman Oklahoma has issued a Slight Risk Area for Severe Weather. It outlines the Southern 1/3 of the State. Little Rock and Surrounding areas included. Here's a pic of the risk area. Now The risk is for Hail,  and possible damaging Thunderstorm winds. Strong to Severe Storms basically. Now the tornado threat is low. But it is Arkansas so nothing is impossible. Just to clarify, a risk area is NOT a Watch of any type. It just tells you what areas the Storm Prediction Center will be looking at for Severe Weather and what type of severe weather they're looking for. As always thank you guys for choosing me to be your go to guy for Weather Information. Yall have a Very good day.!

       Well Guys as of June 1 we have started our 2014 Hurricane Season. That means that this is the time of year that Hurricanes happen here in the United States (Atlantic Basin) the most.  So that beggs the question. What will this year's hurricane season be like? Well a few different Variables determine this.  In this years case what is called "El Ninio". El Ninio is basically a certain atmospheric setup that usually shreads the tops of the thunderstorms due to really strong crosswinds aloft. Here's a picture of El Ninio conditions.   Those Crosswinds is known as Windshear. That difference in the wind aloft is the number 1 killer of hurricanes. Hurricanes cannot have any resistance to properly form and develope. When you get Warm waters. No Windshear. And Room to roam. Then you've got a hurricane on your hands. If you're missing anyone of those variables then you can forget it. According to the Weather Channel and NOAAS's outlooks on the 2014 Hu

        Hey Guys, How's it Going! I just wanted to update everybody and express my growing concerns regarding the Flooding potential we have. There's a lot of heavy rain developing in Oklahoma and Texas that will be moving into the state. These storms will be packing LOTS of heavy Rainfall with amounts being reaoly high in certain areas. This is a lot of rain at one time. These storms may be strong so the wind might push over lots of trees due to the soft ground. There may be more rain back building tonight and tomorrow to move across the state. There will be flash flooding in many spots. If you see water too deep, DO NOT try to cross it. It don't take much to pick your car up and potentially kill you. Save yourself by finding a alternate route. As always I appreciate you guys for following me and supporting me.
