Announcement from Entergy Arkansas concerning the Ouachita River recreational flows.

Due to the possibility of severe weather today, the monthly outdoor warning siren test for the City of Malvern has been postponed until next Wednesday May 13th.

Outdoor warning sirens are meant to be heard outdoors. You should always stay weather aware and make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts.

Don't forget to practice what to do in the event of a tornado warning!

Moving to shelter quickly is easier when everyone knows where to go, whether in your home, business, or outdoors.
