No active hail or wind alerts are posted for Arkansas right now, but SPC notes a corridor from the central and southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau could see widely scattered severe storms Saturday into Saturday night. The main hazards there are large hail up to 2 inches and damaging wind gusts, with the Ozark Plateau—including parts of northern and western Arkansas—worth monitoring for isolated severe storms.
Statewide maxima from SPC verified reports and NWS warnings, last 12 months. Tornado EF ratings are assigned by NWS survey teams after ground surveys and published in NOAA's final storm records.

How Arkansas compares nationally
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.
