A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR INTERSTATE 44 AROUND 7 AM AND STRETCH FROM
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

THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE UNSETTLED. THE FRONT WILL START BACK NORTH LATE
WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT...WHICH COULD IGNITE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS.
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.
