Marginal risk for damaging winds in northeastern Arkansas this weekend

A marginal risk of severe weather has been issued for parts of northeastern Arkansas late Friday evening into early Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

The threat comes as a cold front pushes into the region, bringing the possibility of damaging winds and heavy rainfall, officials said.

Current forecasts indicate that damaging winds are the primary concern, with the potential for localized power outages and downed trees. Heavy downpours may also lead to localized flooding in some areas.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay alert for weather updates and take precautions to protect property and personal safety during the event.
