EASTERN OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
600 AM CDT FRI MAY 26 1995

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TEXAS
EARLY THIS MORNING SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT. AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN
EASTERN COLORADO TODAY...SOUTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP AND BRING THE
UNSTABLE AIR NORTHWARD INTO OKLAHOMA. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER
EASTERN OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AND
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS BY MID MORNING.

BY AROUND NOON...THE AIR MAY BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR A FEW STRONG AND
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS THAT DEVELOP THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.

BY THIS EVENING...A WARM FRONT WILL EXTEND EAST TO WEST ACROSS
NORTHEAST OR EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS. COOLING
EFFECTS FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
SHOULD MAKE THE ATMOSPHERE ONLY SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE BY LATE AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...IF THE MORNING THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISH BY NOON OR ARE NOT
WIDESPREAD...THEN THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN AREAS NEAR THE WARM FRONT.

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AS STORMS TO
THE WEST MOVE EASTWARD.

ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT.
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES SHOULD KEEP
ABREAST OF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
