Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

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

.DAY ONE...THROUGH TONIGHT.
TORNADO.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.
	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...TONIGHT

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA LATE THIS EVENING.

DISCUSSION...
A WELL-DEFINED BOUNDARY REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS FAR
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THAT ARE ALONG AND
JUST NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN AT RISK FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG AND JUST
NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY GIVEN THE LOCALIZED SHEAR ALONG AND JUST
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...ANY STORM MAY EXHIBIT ROTATION...AND WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A BRIEF FUNNEL OR TOUCHDOWN. HENCE...A LIMITED
TORNADO RISK WILL BE MAINTAINED THE REST OF THE EVENING ACROSS PARTS
OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

OVERNIGHT...ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP INTO A COMPLEX AS A
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES OVER THE AREA. THESE STORMS WILL
THEN MOVE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR MORE
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER...MAINLY IN THE FORM OF VERY LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.

ALSO...DUE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS
MORNING...ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE STORM COMPLEX
TONIGHT WILL LEAD TO AN ENHANCED FLASH FLOOD THREAT.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...SPOTTER
ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA DURING THE
EVENING. ADDITIONAL WATCHES ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE ONGOING STORM COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A WIND AND HAIL
THREAT TO FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS EARLY
SUNDAY...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES BRINGING A LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR
REDEVELOPMENT IN THE AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL THEN SHIFT NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LATEST MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE A POTENT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE GREAT PLAINS IN THE THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY TIME FRAME. AT THIS TIME...ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER APPEARS LIKELY. WIND SHEAR PROFILES SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY LARGE
HAIL AND LONG TRACKED TORNADOES.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
ONGOING STORMS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING MAY REQUIRE SPOTTER
ACTIVATION TO CONTINUE. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CLOSELY
MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND DISCUSSIONS REGARDING SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL FOR LATE NEXT WEEK.
