A new tornado watch has been issued for much of southern and central Arkansas, including Little Rock, until midnight CT, according to the National Hurricane Center. This watch comes as the tornado threat for Arkansas is expected to increase this evening due to the movement of Tropical Storm Beryl.
Tropical systems like Beryl often bring with them the potential for tornadoes, particularly in the outer bands of the storm. Today, Beryl has already spawned numerous tornadoes across eastern Texas and western Louisiana, causing damage in towns like Jasper and Timpson, Texas.
