Arkansas Tornadoes: Hail, Twisters Swipe the State Monday With More to Come

Arkansas Not Out of the Weather Yet

Storms in Central and Eastern Oklahoma are part of another system moving behind the one that hammered Arkansas on Monday night.

"This is a multi-day, multi-state, multi-threat severe weather event that begins today right here over the southern U.S.," the Weather Channel reported.

In Little Rock around 11 p.m. Monday, there were thunderstorms in all directions around the state capital.

The storm dropped tornadoes and massive amounts of hail throughout Central Arkansas as it moved easterly into Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky.

Another system is expected tomorrow that will envelope the areas from northern Iowa all the way to the southeast Texas coast and into Biloxi, Mississippi. Those storms could also pack tornadoes, hail and heavy winds.
