TORNADO. RISK...Limited. AREA...Southeast Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Western Arkansas and most of Eastern Oklahoma. ONSET...Ongoing. WINTER WEATHER. ICE ACCUMULATION. RISK...Limited. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma. ONSET...Ongoing. POOR VISIBILITY. RISK...Significant. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and Extreme Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... A stalled frontal extending from boundary from southeast Oklahoma through far northwest Arkansas separates a shallow Arctic airmass from warm and unstable air to the south. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue through much of tonight with severe weather possible. North of the boundary, the main threat will be large hail, while storms south of the front will also have damaging wind potential, along with a threat of isolated tornadoes especially with storms close to the boundary. Temperatures remain near or a little below freezing in areas near the Kansas border. Periods of freezing rain will continue with potential for additional ice accumulations. The sub-freezing air will eventually push southeast overnight with freezing rain potential spreading into east central Oklahoma and possibly far northwest Arkansas by morning. Precipitation potential will decrease through the night with drier air spreading over the area. Widespread fog has developed across northeast Oklahoma and extreme northwest Arkansas, with many locations seeing visibility of a quarter of a mile or less. The fog will persist through much of the evening before the colder and drier air eventually moves in late tonight. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. THURSDAY...Winter Weather Potential...High Wind Potential...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential. FRIDAY...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential. SATURDAY through TUESDAY...Winter Weather Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Some areas of light freezing rain may be ongoing early Thursday morning across parts of northeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas. Otherwise, much colder air will move through the region, with wind chill values dropping into the single digits by Friday morning. Unsettled weather will prevail through early next week with at least some potential for winter weather as early as Saturday night in parts of the area. At this time the potential for significant winter weather appears low. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
