Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 4:02 PM CDT, 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 402 PM CDT Fri Aug 10 2018 .DISCUSSION... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue until around sunset before dissipating. Damaging downburst winds will remain a threat with any storm for at least the next couple hours. A repeat performance is expected Saturday afternoon, with lesser chances near the Kansas and Missouri borders to the north of a weak frontal boundary that will drift south to near Highway 412 by Saturday afternoon. A closed upper low to our west will then become the main influence on our weather from Sunday into the middle of next week. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected, especially from Monday into early Wednesday as this system drifts slowly northeast. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible during this time period as well. Clouds and rain will help keep daytime temperatures well below the seasonal normals early next week. Unsettled weather looks to continue late next week, with continued chances of showers and thunderstorms, although coverage should lessen by the end of the forecast period. Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Also this afternoon...heat index values in the mid 90s to around 100 degrees will be possible across much of Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas...with parts of Northeast Oklahoma and the Arkansas River Valley of West Central Arkansas having the greater potential of near 100 degrees.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION... A broad area of low pressure is forecast to remain over the Southern Plains into next week. The result will be additional thunderstorm chances each day across the region.
