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...Limited.
	AREA...Primarily Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing though main potential after 10 PM.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...After 10 PM.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...After 10 PM.

DISCUSSION...
Scattered thunderstorms had developed across parts of Northeast
Oklahoma late this afternoon ahead of a thunderstorm complex
developing to the west in Northwest Oklahoma. Scattered
thunderstorms through the mid evening hours will remain possible
mainly north of Interstate 40. An isolated severe potential with
locally strong winds and hail will be capable within any
thunderstorm development through the mid evening hours.

Late this evening and into the overnight hours...the thunderstorm
complex out west is forecast to move into Eastern Oklahoma and
spread across the region into Northwest Arkansas. A limited severe
potential will be possible across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest
Arkansas...though the greater potential continues to be over
Eastern Oklahoma. Damaging winds of 60 to 70 miles per hour and
quarter size hail will be the main threats through the overnight
hours. Also...periods of heavy rainfall will again be possible
tonight...which could increase flash flooding concerns especially
over locations that have already received recent heavy rains.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...No Hazards.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms may be ongoing early Tuesday as a large storm
complex is likely to be moving across the region. Instability
across the region will allow for a continued severe potential
Tuesday. The unsettled weather pattern will continue with
thunderstorm chances Wednesday...however the trend will be for
drier and warmer weather for late week. The next cold front is
forecast to move into the region over the weekend with a chance of
thunderstorms returning.
