The National Weather Service has issued tornado watches for at least four US states on Saturday, covering parts of southwest Arkansas, northwest Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, and northeast Texas. The tornado watch in these areas will remain in effect until 9 pm CT, with residents urged to stay alert for rapidly changing weather conditions. Additional areas under tornado watch until 6 pm CT include northwest Arkansas, southeast Kansas, southern Missouri, and eastern Oklahoma. Forecasters warn of large hail and damaging winds reaching up to 75 mph, which could pose risks to property and vehicles. While drought conditions have affected much of the region over the past two months, the heavy rain expected from one to two inches may bring relief. However, localized flash flooding is possible in low-lying areas. Rain and storms are expected to spread from the Florida Panhandle to the eastern Great Lakes by Sunday afternoon. Although the risk of severe weather will decrease in these areas, central Gulf Coast states, northern North Carolina, eastern Kentucky, and western New York may still experience strong winds and large hail.
