NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TO EXTREME SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AROUND 1 PM. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND WIND. STRONG WIND
FIELDS AND RESULTANT SHEAR COULD PRODUCE BRIEF ISOLATED TORNADOES. LOCALLY HEAVY

A POTENT UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTH FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS FRIDAY WILL BRING A THUNDERSTORM THREAT LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. COLD
AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE A RAIN SNOW MIX FOR AREAS
NEAR THE KANSAS OR MISSOURI BORDERS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SIGNIFICANT
SNOW IS LIKELY NORTH OF OUR AREA. SHOULD THIS SYSTEM TAKE A MORE SOUTHERN
ROUTE...CHANCES INCREASE FOR MEASURABLE SNOW IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.
