Warnings and Notices

	Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 3:25 AM CST on December 23, 2009 ... Flash Flood Watch now in effect from noon CST today through Thursday morning... The Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for * portions of central Arkansas... eastern Arkansas... north central Arkansas... southeast Arkansas... southwest Arkansas and western Arkansas... including the following areas... in central Arkansas... Conway... Faulkner... Garland... Grant... Lonoke... Perry... Pope... prairie... Pulaski... Saline... white and Yell. In eastern Arkansas... Jackson... Monroe and Woodruff. In north central Arkansas... Baxter... Boone... Cleburne... Fulton... Independence... Izard... Marion... Newton... Searcy... sharp... stone and Van Buren. In southeast Arkansas... Arkansas... Bradley... Cleveland... Desha... Drew... Jefferson and Lincoln. In southwest Arkansas... Calhoun... Clark... Dallas... Hot Spring... Ouachita and Pike. In western Arkansas... Johnson... Logan... Montgomery... Polk and Scott. * From noon CST today through Thursday morning * rain will be heavy at times... mainly this afternoon through Thursday morning. Widespread two to three inch amounts are expected... with locally up to five inches possible. This may cause flash flooding in some areas. * Vegetation has become mostly dormant... and will not use nearly as much water as during the growing season. Given this... rain will not go into the soil as readily... with high water problems becoming more of a concern. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action if flash flood warnings are issued.

	Lake Wind Advisory
Statement as of 3:20 AM CST on December 23, 2009 ... Lake Wind Advisory in effect until 6 PM CST Friday... The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued a lake Wind Advisory... which is in effect until 6 PM CST Friday. * Winds will increase through the day today... as a powerful storm system develops out in the Southern Plains and moves toward the region. * Winds of 15 to 25 mph... with higher gusts will develop this morning. Winds will increase to 20 to 25 mph... with gusts to 35 mph by tonight. A cold front will move through the region during the day Thursday... with winds switching to the northwest. However... winds will remain at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts through Thursday night and much of Friday. By Friday evening... winds will subside as the storm system moves away from the region and into the Central Plains. * Windy conditions will create dangerous conditions on area bodies of water. Small craft will be especially prone to capsizing. Precautionary/preparedness actions... Boaters will need to exercise extreme caution if they decide to go out on the water. Remember... due to reduced friction... winds over open water are stronger than those reported at stations on land.
