This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Late This Afternoon and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Much of Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Along and South of Interstate 44.

SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
	RISK...Limited.
	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.

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

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

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Gusty northerly winds and sharply colder temperatures will
prevail on Thursday with rains ending during the day. Additional
rainfall amounts around a half inch and locally greater will be
possible across far Southeast Oklahoma...which could continue
flooding concerns. 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.
