Flooding remains a concern as Beryl moves through Arkansas

Hi, folks. I'm chief meteorologist Harvey Bobby, the 4029 tv.com forecast on this Monday, July the eighth. As we track what was hurricane Barrel becoming tropical storm Barrel on its way to depression Barrel, *** tropical depression, uh Barrels that makes its way into Arkansas later on tonight and tomorrow morning, we're already seeing some of that heavy rain make its way into the area today. First, the river valley, the northwest Arkansas and it's, you know, some of the heavy he there, there've been areas of really heavy rain and there been areas where it's been kinda like *** little bit of rain but not much. Um, that's so far. And so the areas that get the really heavy downpours which would be kind of hit and miss in nature. Through the evening, there could be some flash flood concern there. But outside of that, not much later on tonight, we're gonna get *** lot more widespread rain in tomorrow morning. And by tomorrow morning concerns will be *** little bit more elevated uh through this evening though, just kind of hit and miss heavy downpours and then some light rain and by 10 pm, pretty scattered still, I'd say actually showers, maybe some heavy downpours here and there. But after midnight, that's when the actual real outer bands of barrel, like the real core of barrel really, uh, gets on in here. And so 34 in the morning, heavy rain coming down around Fort Smith and some of this getting into northwest Arkansas, especially east of Fort Smith, east of Fayetteville. Some of the heaviest rain with this system. Also, it's east of these areas where you might have some of the greatest tornado potential. An isolated tornado or two. I've seen plenty of that to our south on our Monday and we could get *** little bit of that in our area, especially east of Fort Smith, east of Fayetteville late tonight tomorrow morning. So watch for that an isolated brief tornado, but it's the heavy rain we're concerned about and right around the morning, commute. All right, we gotta be careful with this, avoid high water at all costs if you happen to come across any tomorrow morning on your way into work. Good news is by mid morning, it's starting to clear out of here and by the afternoon is totally gone and we're looking at much quieter conditions, highs in the upper seventies and low eighties across the mid eighties. So not as hot and isolated showers storm possible tomorrow afternoon, but that'd be it. And then we get into our Tuesday morning, waking up low to mid sixties, comfortable Wednesday afternoon, uh, *** little bit warmer highs in the mid to upper eighties. Uh, we'll be tracking barrel for, you have all the latest on barrel coming up tonight and that's what we're really focused on here, folks where we've got high water where we don't, that's coming up 56 and 10 on 4029 of course, at 9 p.m. on the CW.
