...HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY THROUGH TONIGHT WITH POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING...

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
	ONSET...AFTERNOON.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...NORTH OF I-40 IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
	ONSET...ONGOING FOR FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...LATE THIS EVENING ELSEWHERE.

	ONSET...ONGOING FOR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...LATE THIS EVENING ELSEWHERE.

DANGEROUS HEAT.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...
A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT MUCH OF
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND PARTS OF FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH THIS
MORNING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH
THESE STORMS BEFORE THEY DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY LATER
THIS MORNING. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AS A RESULT OF THIS ACTIVITY...
AND THIS MAY SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON IN AN UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY CAPPED AIRMASS. SOME OF THESE
STORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ALONG WITH LOCAL
HEAVY RAINFALL. DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX VALUES OF AROUND 100 DEGREES
WILL ALSO BE LIKELY SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO OUR SOUTHWEST
THIS EVENING AND EVENTUALLY GROW INTO A LARGE COMPLEX THAT WILL
AFFECT MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT.
HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS...
WITH CURRENT DATA SUGGESTING THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL AXIS NEAR OR
JUST SOUTH OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR. THERE WILL ALSO BE A LIMITED
THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH THIS COMPLEX EARLY TONIGHT.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK LIKELY...ESPECIALLY
OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
COVERS PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE THE
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVES OUT OF THE AREA DURING THE DAY. THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA WEDNESDAY BUT BECOME LESS
DEFINED...WITH THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING INCREASINGLY ISOLATED AND
FOCUSED MORE ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY APPROACH THE
AREA BY NEXT WEEKEND AND BRING AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. LOW SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...THOUGH BRIEF AND
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
FLASH FLOODING COULD BE ONGOING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...WITH RIVER
FLOODING ALSO A POTENTIAL CONCERN.
