THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...NORTHEAST
TEXAS...SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FOUR STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EXTREME EASTERN TEXAS...AND MUCH OF NORTH LOUISIANA...AHEAD OF AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE
AREA. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER
STORMS...ALTHOUGH THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT SHOULD REMAIN MINIMAL AS
THESE STORMS WILL EXHIBIT MORE MOVEMENT THAN STORMS THAT CAUSED
SIGNIFICANT FLOODING LAST WEEK ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS AND
NORTHWEST LOUISIANA. ADDED DAYTIME HEATING MAY ALSO ENHANCE AN
ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...ESPECIALLY OVER EAST TEXAS AND
WESTERN LOUISIANA. SHOULD ANY STORMS BECOME SEVERE...THE MAIN
THREAT WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS. THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH EARLY THIS EVENING AS THE
DISTURBANCE SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA...AND AS DAYTIME HEATING
SUBSIDES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
EACH DAY...AS WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO SHIFT
SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. ONE SUCH DISTURBANCE WILL FOCUS SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS EXTREME
NORTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AND ADJACENT SOUTHWEST
ARKANSAS. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT OVER THESE
AREAS DURING THIS TIME...ALTHOUGH ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE
AREA WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
DEADLY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS EAST TEXAS AND NORTH LOUISIANA.
