Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue

3:30 pm Radar Update: Continuing to monitor these supercells in SE Oklahoma and NE Texas. These will continue to have an increasing tornado threat as these move towards and into SW Arkansas.

Unfortunately a pair of tornadic thunderstorms is moving towards the area and as they approach they will likely shift slightly east which will put Howard, Little River, Hempstead, Polk, Miller county, Pike county, Sevier country at increased risk of tornado circulations. Start preparing shelter. A tornado outbreak is underway with two confirmed so far. The hope is storm interactions mitigate the risk slightly, but so far not a good look.
Cities will be addressed closer.

We are watching other storms closely but stay aware this evening and monitor the page for new updates.

The red outline is the area at an increased risk for tornadoes and severe weather in the short term. Also expect wind damage and quarter sized hail and increased risk of flash flooding even outside of tornadoes.
