AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and Far Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...After 9 PM. DISCUSSION... Rain showers with the potential for scattered thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas this evening and continue through the overnight hours as a strong cold front moves into the region tonight. Widespread rainfall amounts in the 1 to 3 inch range with locally higher amounts of 4 to 5 plus inches will be possible through tonight. The greater potentials for the heavy rains are forecast to be along and south of Interstate 44 and mainly north of a line from McAlester to Fort Smith Arkansas. These rains will increase the potential for flash as well as mainstem river flooding, and a flash flood watch remains in effect for most of Eastern Oklahoma and all of Northwest Arkansas through Thursday morning. Also ahead of the strong cold front, elevated instability over the region could allow for a few strong to marginally severe storms to become possible through this evening. Locally strong winds of 60 mph and quarter size hail will be possible with the strongest storms across parts of Eastern Oklahoma. Behind the cold front, gusty northerly winds up toward 40 mph and much colder temperatures are forecast to spread into the region tonight into Thursday.

Cool and dry weather returns Friday with a quick warm up on Saturday. The next strong cold front arrives late Sunday with a low chance of a light wintry mix across far northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas Sunday night into Monday. Temperatures are forecast to remain well below seasonal normals for early next week. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
