DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WAS PUSHING INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING.
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. VERY WARM AND MOIST AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
FEED THE THUNDERSTORMS AS THIS SQUALL LINE MOVES EAST ACROSS THE
REGION THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING VERY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS
ALONG WITH VERY INTENSE LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN.

MOVEMENT OF THE SQUALL LINE WAS TO THE EAST AT 25 MPH AND THIS WILL
MOVE IT ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS BY EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON.

VERY HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO BEING PRODUCED BUT HEAVIER AMOUNTS WILL
LIKELY IN FAR EAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WHERE HIGHER
AVAILABLE MOISTURE IS IN PLACE.

STRONG SHEAR IS NEAR THIS FRONT AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM.

DRY AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL CAUSE LOW
HUMIDITY AND A PERIOD OF INCREASE FIRE BEHAVIOR IN SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION LIKELY NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG WITH A DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND BRING SEVERAL DAYS OF QUIET
WEATHER.
