ONSET...ONGOING.

AREA AT GREATEST RISK...ALL AREAS.

DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER TROUGH WITH A DEEPENING MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA IS
MOVING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AT MID DAY WITH AN IMPRESSIVE
AREA OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO
INCHES IN WESTERN AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL GET ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL OF ANOTHER INCH OR TWO. THE RAIN IS SPREADING EAST
AT 20 TO 30 MPH AND WILL SPREAD OVER ALL OF EAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR 2 INCHES LATER TODAY AS SOUTH WINDS CONTINUE
TO FEED MOISTURE INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM. SOME THUNDERSTORMS
COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREATS.
HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY. WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS OF 5 TO 7 INCHES
POSSIBLE. SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS WILL ENHANCE RUNOFF...WHICH WILL
LIKELY LEAD TO FLOODING PROBLEMS. VERY STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED
JUST BEHIND THE MAIN PRECIPITATION AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS GUSTING
TO AROUND 40 MPH.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS NOT EXPECTED TO UNDERGO MUCH EVOLUTION
OVER THE COMING WEEK. THEREFORE... THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN
WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE 7 DAY FORECAST PERIOD.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH DAY. HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL AGAIN BECOME A CONCERN ON FRIDAY AS A
SURFACE FRONT ENTERS THE AREA.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS
AND REMAIN AWARE OF CONDITIONS OVER THE COMING DAYS. WEATHER
CONDITIONS AND FORECASTS THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE SUBJECT TO
VERY RAPID CHANGES.
