Wow. Ash Flat Arkansas is going to be a real culture shock for you. Good people and pretty country side....but you are going to find yourself fully immersed in the south.

We do have a fair amount of tornados and large thunderstorms here in the spring and fall, but nothing like tornado alley in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Winters are short and typically quite mild. Summers are long and often brutally hot with high humidity....but you get used to it being 100°
