LITTLE ROCK, Ark — Entergy maps showed more than 6,000 customers without power Wednesday morning ahead of severe weather storms set for this afternoon around the state, and a company spokesperson said they're expecting a lot more throughout the day.
David Lewis said the most hit areas are in Philips and Pulaski County, but that will also change throughout the day.
"With the severe weather we're looking at today the chances are that number will go higher," said Lewis. "It's impossible to say how many outages we'll have by the time this storm is over, but it's a good guess that it'll be well over the 6,000 we're looking at now."
