SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Depression Laura will continue to weaken as it lifts slowly
northward across Arkansas overnight. Rainfall associated with the storm
system will remain capable of producing additional localized flash
flooding heading into Friday morning. Gusty winds will also remain
capable of downing trees and power lines, which could lead to
additional power outages.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still possible across
parts of southwest and central Arkansas and include:

    - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
      multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and
      ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,
      destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while
      increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood
      control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
      away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
      Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with
      underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous.
      Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.

* WIND:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across a large part
of Arkansas.

* TORNADOES:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across a large part
of Arkansas.
