.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 234 PM CDT THU OCT 9 2014/

DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ALONG QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST KANSAS/
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO
DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTH INTO FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND POSSIBLY FAR
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MODERATELY
UNSTABLE AIR-MASS COUPLED WITH MARGINAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR COULD
ALLOW A FEW STORMS TO APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS WITH WIND/HAIL.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA OVERNIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK
LIFTS INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF MAIN UPPER LOW. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED FOR COUNTIES ALONG THE OK/KS BOARDER WHERE THE
HEAVIER RAIN IS EXPECTED...INCLUDING MODESTLY LOWER FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE.

RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY SPREAD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS COLD FRONT PUSHES
INTO FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS
FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA EARLY SATURDAY AS SURFACE WAVE DEVELOPS IN
RESPONSE TO MAIN UPPER LEVEL VORT MAX. RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN
HIGH THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO DECREASE INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS ATMOSPHERE
CONTINUES TO STABILIZE NORTH OF STALLED FRONT.

BRIEF BREAK IN THE WEATHER EXPECTED DURING THE DAY SUNDAY BEFORE
STRONG UPPER TROUGH DIVES OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...BECOMING
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED OVER THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS. ANOTHER ROUND
OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY WITH SYSTEM BEFORE
COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST MONDAY EVENING. FLOODING AGAIN COULD
BECOME AN ISSUE...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE THE HEAVIER
RAIN WITH THE INITIAL FRI/SAT RAIN EVENT. MILD/DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED BEHIND DEPARTING SYSTEM INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH
A SLOW WARMING TREND THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER TEXAS.

...HEAVY RAINS ALONG WITH FLOODING POTENTIAL TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 412.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...NEAR THE KANSAS BORDER.
	ONSET...AFTER MIDNIGHT.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 412.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS EVENING. THE SEVERE RISK
REMAINS LOW. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH HAS EITHER
BEEN OBSERVED OR ESTIMATED BY RADAR IN SOME AREAS NEAR THE KANSAS
BORDER.

STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG A FRONT WEST OF THE REGION AND
ARE FORECAST TO GRADUALLY GROW INTO A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX AND
MOVE EAST INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE COMBINATION
OF PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LIFT FROM
AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE WILL FOCUS A CORRIDOR OF HEAVY RAINFALL
ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS HEAVY RAIN COULD
CAUSE SOME FLOODING ISSUES...ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TRACK OVER AREAS
THAT HAVE ALREADY PICKED UP OVER AN INCH OF RAIN THIS EVENING. THE
BEST CHANCE OF THIS OCCURRING WILL BE IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING THE
KANSAS BORDER.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY THRU MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

A COMPLEX OF HEAVY RAIN AND STORMS WILL BE ONGOING FRIDAY MORNING
ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THIS COMPLEX WILL SHIFT
EAST AND SOUTH ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
DURING THE DAY FRIDAY AS THE FRONT DROPS SOUTH. THE CORRIDOR OF
HEAVIER RAIN POTENTIAL WILL SHIFT SOUTH WITH THE FRONT ON FRIDAY
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES MAY CARRYOVER INTO FRIDAY AS WELL. THERE
IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT
OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS...WITH A
LIMITED SEVERE HAIL AND WIND THREAT. STORM CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY
END FROM WEST TO EAST LATE SATURDAY AS THE UPPER STORM SYSTEM
MOVES EAST OF THE REGION.

A VERY ENERGETIC UPPER STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DIVE DOWN INTO
THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN
QUICKLY AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. COMBINE THAT WITH STRONG FORCING
ALONG THE FRONT AND STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...AND YOU HAVE A
RECIPE FOR HEIGHTENED SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE THE TIME OF DAY. HEAVY
RAINS FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY EXACERBATE ANY ONGOING ISSUES FROM THE
PREVIOUS STORM...SO THERE IS AT LEAST SOME FLOODING POTENTIAL. STAY
TUNED TO LATER UPDATES AS THIS TIME NEARS. PLEASANT FALL WEATHER
WILL RETURN BY TUESDAY.
