This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...This Evening and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Primarily after 6 PM.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Along and southeast of Interstate 44.
	ONSET...This evening.

DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms across southwest Oklahoma late this afternoon
will continue to expand in coverage as they track east.
Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts
of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas...mainly along
and south of Interstate 40. This activity will eventually
develop into a complex of storms and track across a large
portion of southeast Oklahoma and west central Arkansas during
the evening hours.

Damaging winds and localized large hail appear to be primary
risks through late evening. Additionally locally heavy
rainfall is possible. Areas that received heavy rainfall from the
overnight storms may also experience localized flooding with any
additional heavy rains. The severe weather potential will decease
during the late night hours.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
SUNDAY through THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorm may be ongoing early Saturday primarily south of
Interstate 40 with dry conditions then prevailing from
late morning through late afternoon.  Thunderstorm chances
will then return late Saturday afternoon and continue into
Sunday though widespread coverage is not likely.
An unsettled pattern will remain in place through much of
next week with daily thunderstorm chances across much of
the area.
