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...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing With Main Threat After 10 PM.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...North of Interstate 40.
	ONSET...After 10 PM.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Significant.
	AREA...North of Interstate 40.
	ONSET...After 10 PM.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Far Northeast Oklahoma into Far
							Northwest Arkansas.

DANGEROUS HEAT.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Much of Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
A surface boundary leftover from the morning activity remained
positioned across the region late this afternoon. Strong surface
heating combined with ample amounts of low level moisture
interacting with the boundary could allow for a few strong to
marginally severe storms to develop into the evening hours. The
greater potential into the early evening hours is expected across
northeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas.

The main threat for severe weather will likely be late this evening
into the overnight hours as additional storms develop across far
northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas along an
approaching frontal boundary. A few thunderstorms will be capable
of producing hail to the size of quarters and damaging wind gusts
to 65 mph. Thunderstorms are expected to continue through much of
tonight, pushing south and east and transitioning to a heavy rain
threat, including the potential for flash flooding. A flash flood
watch is in effect from 10 PM through 7 AM tonight for much
Northeast Oklahoma and far Northwest Arkansas.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning with the
greater potential across southeast Oklahoma into west central
Arkansas. Locally heavy rainfall will again be possible.
Precipitation is forecast to taper off by Thursday evening with a
brief dry period expected into Friday afternoon. Northwesterly
flow aloft will develop by late Friday and continue through much
of the weekend, leading to a continued thunderstorm potential. By
early next week, a building ridge will result in warm and dry
weather.
