AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS THE REGION ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT EARLY
THIS EVENING. A CAPPING INVERSION HAS ALLOWED STRONG INSTABILITY
TO BUILD SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HOWEVER... THE CAP HAS
SUFFICIENTLY WEAKENED AS EXPECTED... ALLOWING STORMS TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT.

THE INITIAL STAGES OF CONVECTION WILL FAVOR SUPERCELLS WITH
TORNADIC POTENTIAL AND VERY LARGE HAIL. THE STRONGEST WIND FIELDS
WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE REGION WHICH IS LIKELY TO LEAD TO
STORMS ORGANIZING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND PUSHING SOUTHWARD
AS THEIR COMBINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY STRENGTHENS. THIS SCENARIO WILL
LIMIT THE TORNADIC POTENTIAL WITH TIME. ALTHOUGH THE STRONG
INSTABILITY WILL MAINTAIN THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT HAIL AND
OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORM INITIATION WILL BE
SLOW MOVING AND EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL PROVIDE A ZONE FOR REPEATED
STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE REGION... WITH EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT... WITH A FLOOD WATCH FOR SEVERAL RIVERS
ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND... WITH
YET ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY.  SHOULD THIS HEAVY RAIN DEVELOP... THEN BOTH
FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN OVER
THE WEEKEND.  THE WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS TO CHANGE BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH POTENTIAL FOR A DRY PERIOD ACROSS THE AREA.
