What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Mar 27, 4:10 PM CDT	HAIL 0.75	2 S Kingston, AR

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 93 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 2:45 PM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
245 PM CDT SAT MAR 27 2010

.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRAVERSING THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
AN ASSOCIATED WELL DEFINED SURFACE LOW IS CURRENTLY TRACKING
EASTWARD ALONG THE KANSAS OKLAHOMA BORDER. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE RAPIDLY DEVELOPED WITHIN A WARM AIR/ MOISTURE
ADVECTION REGION ACROSS FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS. CONVECTION HAS ALSO BEGUN TO DEVELOP NEARER THE SURFACE
LOW ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS. AREAS EAST OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP THE REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING.

THE FIRST PERIOD OF THIS FORECAST WILL BEGIN WITH ONGOING CONVECTION IN
THE EAST... AND LIKELY AN AREA OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL FOLLOWING A
DIFFUSE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING. SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY THIS EVENING
AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES EASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA. SHOWERS OR LIGHT
RAINFALL WILL LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT... ENDING FROM WEST
TO EAST BY SUNDAY MORNING.

CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO CLEAR SUNDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS LATEST
SYSTEM... WHICH WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN. HOWEVER... A NICE
WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN IN EARNEST ON MONDAY... AS UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING ESTABLISHES ITSELF ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF WARM... DRY... AND WINDY WEATHER WILL EXACERBATE DANGEROUS
FIRE CONDITIONS DURING THE UPCOMING WEEK. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA CONTINUES TO APPEAR TO BE ON FRIDAY... AS
ANOTHER UPPER SYSTEM GETS ORGANIZED TO OUR WEST.

...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...MAINLY NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...2 TO 4 PM.

SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
	RISK...ELEVATED...SPREADINDEX=54.
	AREA...ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED ACROSS FAR NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A SUBTLE DRYLINE ANALYZED ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA. THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED NEAR THE SURFACE LOW
AND LONG THE DRYLINE GENERALLY FROM 2 TO 4 PM...AS STRONGER LIFT
AHEAD OF APPROACHING UPPER LOW OVERSPREADS THE REGION. STEEP LAPSE
RATES DUE TO THE COLD MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES WOULD SUPPORT A FEW
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. WHILE
SURFACE MOISTURE REMAINS RELATIVELY LOW...STRONG SHEAR COULD SUPPORT
A FEW LOW-TOPPED SUPERCELLS...SO THERE WILL BE A SMALL TORNADO
THREAT. THE BEST CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL GENERALLY RUN FROM
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN ARKANSAS.

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD PROGRESS QUICKLY INTO NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
GENERALLY ENDING AFTER 6 PM.

GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS APPROACHING 40 MPH. THE GUSTY
WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH LOW SURFACE DEWPOINTS AND DRY FUELS TO POSE
AN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THREAT THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING...BUT REMAIN RATHER BREEZY...SO THE FIRE DANGER WILL PERSIST
INTO THE EVENING.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
LOCAL SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED BY MID AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER
POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
STRONG WINDS AND FIRE DANGER ARE THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND AND THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. AFTER A
BRIEF COOLDOWN TOMORROW BEHIND TODAYS COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEK...WHICH WILL KEEP FIRE DANGER ELEVATED. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FOR THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK AND INTO
NEXT WEEKEND...AS A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPS IN THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES AND APPROACHES THE REGION. THE WEATHER
PATTERN SUGGESTS THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE...ALTHOUGH THE DETAILS...SUCH AS HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL
BE AVAILABLE...REMAIN UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT.
