108 PM CDT SUN JUN 10 2007

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...NOW...ENDING BY 11PM.  BEGINNING AGAIN AT 2AM.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...
A STRONGLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WAS IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND THE BORDER AREA
OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.  AS THE CAP WEAKENS AREA WIDE THIS
AFTERNOON...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
ENTIRE REGION.

AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY...WINDS ALOFT ARE WEAK...SO CELLS
WILL TEND TO BE SLOW MOVING AND QUICKLY BECOME MULTICELLULAR.
HOWEVER...LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS WILL OCCUR WITH A NUMBER
OF THE STORMS TODAY.  IN ADDITION...2 TO 3 INCHES OF QUICK RAINFALL
WILL OCCUR AT SOME LOCATIONS.

TWO BOUNDARIES WERE IN THE REGION TODAY THAT MAY FOCUS THE MOST
CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY OR AT LEAST OFFER THE BEST CHANCE FOR
STORM ORGANIZATION.  BOTH BOUNDARIES ARE FROM MORNING STORMS.
ONE EXTENDED FROM CARROLL COUNTY TO NEAR FAYETTEVILLE TO BETWEEN
OKMULGEE AND TULSA.  THE SECOND EXTENDED FROM THE KANSAS LINE
NORTH OF BARTLESVILLE INTO CREEK COUNTY AND ON SOUTHWEST.

THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AFTER
10PM.  HOWEVER DEPENDING ON HOW THE EVENING STORMS EVOLVE...
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT STORMS COULD INCREASE AGAIN IN THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
LOCAL SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED NEAR ANY STRONG
STORMS.  NET CONTROLLERS FOR THE REGIONAL SKYWARN NET
SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR CONDITIONS AND BE READY FOR
ACTIVATION THIS AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED OVER THE
NEXT WEEK WITH SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING EACH DAY. WEAK WIND FIELDS ALOFT WILL
LIKELY LIMIT THE SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES TO THE ISOLATED PULSE
SEVERE STORMS WHICH ARE COMMON IN SUMMER.
