Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Tulsa OK 535 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017 ARZ001-002-010-011-019-020-029-OKZ049-053>076-291045- Adair OK-Benton AR-Carroll AR-Cherokee OK-Choctaw OK-Craig OK- Crawford AR-Creek OK-Delaware OK-Franklin AR-Haskell OK-Latimer OK- Le Flore OK-Madison AR-Mayes OK-McIntosh OK-Muskogee OK-Nowata OK- Okfuskee OK-Okmulgee OK-Osage OK-Ottawa OK-Pawnee OK-Pittsburg OK- Pushmataha OK-Rogers OK-Sebastian AR-Sequoyah OK-Tulsa OK-Wagoner OK- Washington OK-Washington AR- 535 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017 ...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING AND SEVERE RISK THRU THE WEEKEND... This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as much of Eastern Oklahoma. .DAY ONE...This evening and Tonight. TORNADO. RISK...Limited. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...After 8 pm. Area OF GREATER RISK...Mainly north of a McAlester to Fort Smith line and along and south of Interstate 44. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. RISK...Significant. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...After 8 pm. AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Mainly north of a McAlester to Fort Smith line and along and south of Interstate 44. FLASH FLOOD. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...After 8 pm. HEAVY RAIN. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...After 8 pm. DISCUSSION... Severe storm chances along with potential flash flooding will increase this evening and overnight tonight across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. Very large hail to baseball size, damaging winds to 70 mph, and an isolated tornado are possible. Clusters of thunderstorms continuing to develop over the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles will continue to push eastward and move into Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas late this evening and overnight. At the same time...additional thunderstorms are forecast to develop this evening and tonight along and north of a warm frontal boundary lifting north across Southeast Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. All modes of severe weather will be possible with this activity through into the overnight hours and transition to more of a large hail and damaging wind threat late tonight across the region. Also through tonight...multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected to develop across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas as the frontal boundary becomes nearly stationary over the region. This will increase the potential for flash flooding with the greater potential over Northeast Oklahoma into Northwest Arkansas. A flash flood watch is in effect starting this evening and continuing into Sunday morning. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SATURDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. SUNDAY...No Hazards. MONDAY...High Wind Potential. TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. THURSDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Multiple rounds of thunderstorms will continue to impact the region Saturday and Saturday night as a powerful upper level storm system develops to our west and interacts with a frontal boundary draped over the region. Storm total rainfall in the 4 to 7 inch range is expected, with locally heavier amounts likely across much of northeast and east central Oklahoma into Northwest Arkansas thru Sunday. This heavy rainfall could lead to life-threatening flash flooding and significant flooding of area rivers and lakes. Locations downstream from dams could see significant flooding as water is released from the flooded lakes. The quasi-stationary frontal boundary and approaching upper system will continue to be the focus for storms with severe potential during the afternoon and evening hours Saturday. The severe weather threat...and heavy rainfall threat will will come to an end from west to east as a cold front sweeps across the region late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Towards the middle of next week...another storm system will bring the potential for more storms to the region. This system is expected to push through too quickly to bring significant rainfall. Organized severe weather is not expected either. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT... This is an evolving system and the axis of heavy rainfall will likely continue to be fine tuned. Continue to follow the latest updates and forecasts over the next 24 to 36 hours regarding the expected hazardous weather that will affect much of the area this weekend. weather.gov/tulsa Contains additional information.
