Laura is now a tropical storm as it moves across Arkansas en route to the bluegrass state. This will arrive as a tropical depression on Friday as it rolls from west to east across the state.

A few thunderstorms may now enter the picture as early as Sunday, going against what I&#8217;ve been saying for the past couple of days.
