.DISCUSSION...
A persistent Omega block in the eastern Pacific will continue to
bring unsettled weather through the majority of the forecast
period. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible early
this morning with the potential for some redevelopment later this
afternoon across portions of southeast Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas. Windy conditions behind the dryline are expected this
afternoon with gusts 40 to 45 mph across the northwest portions of
the area. This meets Wind Advisory criteria and a WA will be
issued soon. The first half of the weekend should remain largely
dry with the exception of southeast Oklahoma which may see some
precipitation on Friday. Saturday morning will likely need
frost/freeze warnings across much of the area given temps ranging
from the mid 20s to mid 30s across much of the area. The upcoming
work week looks wet with several rounds of precipitation expected.
Strong to isolated severe storms are ongoing across the CWA. These
are expected to continue through much of the early morning hours.
The low level jet will continue to strengthen until about 09Z
tonight after which the jet should begin to weaken and thus the
overall storm activity as well. In the mean time, damaging winds
gusts and heavy rainfall which may lead to flash flooding are the
biggest concerns. Lower, but not zero, severe weather risks
include a hail and tornado threat. The severe potential may
continue to increase a little over the next few hours as 925mb
winds begin to increase. Several rounds of showers and storms,
some of which could be severe, will continue through the morning
hours.
These showers and storms should exit/diminish by mid to late
morning. A dry line will move through the area from west to east
through the late morning and afternoon/evening hours. Locations
behind the dryline will see no chances for precip while locations
ahead of the dryline will continue to see chances for
showers/storms. The best location, based on the latest CAMS
guidance, appears to be over SE OK early this afternoon. A couple of
these storms could be strong to marginally severe given favorable
dynamics and instability ahead of the dry line. As stated above,
locations behind the dryline will see gusty winds of 40 to 45mph at
times. These wind gusts are supported in a well mixed boundary layer
with the 925mb showing wind gusts in the 40 to 45mph range.
Friday will see a cold front pass through the area with surfaces
pressures beginning to increase as a result of a strong high
pressure moving into the north-central CONUS. The influence of
this strong (approximately 1040mb) high pressure will be felt
here with clearing skies Friday into Saturday and cold, light to
moderate NE winds ushering in well below normal temperatures for
this time of year. Temperatures Saturday morning are expected to
be in the 20s to near 30 from about I-40 and northward with lower
to mid 30s expected south of there. Given the greening and budding
vegetation across the area, freeze and frost headlines will
likely be warranted for Saturday morning for much of the area.
After a cool weekend, temperatures look to rebound nicely (70s by
Tuesday and Wednesday and 80s by Thursday) through the work week
next week as the aforementioned high pressure quickly moves off to
the east. Additional rounds of showers and will be possible
through the week (maybe an isolated storm or 2 as well) as we
return to a more favorable pattern for precipitation. With that
said, there really aren't any strong signals for heavy
precipitation next week which is a good sign for our rivers and
soils which will see a good amount of rain this morning from heavy
thunderstorms.

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7PM THIS EVENING
This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

over southeast Oklahoma.
ONSET... This afternoon and evening.
FLASH FLOOD.
RISK...Limited.

ONSET... Ongoing.
HEAVY RAIN.
RISK...Limited.
AREA... Eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas.
ONSET... Ongoing.
SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
RISK...Limited.
AREA... Areas along and northwest of Interstate 44.
ONSET... Late this morning.
DISCUSSION...
Strong thunderstorms continue early this morning, but continue to
show signs of weakening as upper level dynamics that supported
isolated severe storms earlier this morning have diminished. With
that said, a flash flooding threat remains as additional rounds of
showers and storms move over already saturated soils from recent
rains.
This afternoon is expected to heat up and when combined with
favorable dynamics, a few severe storms will be possible,
especially over southeast Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas
along an advancing dry line. These storms will be capable of
producing hail up to ping pong ball size and damaging wind gusts
up to 70 miles per hour. There is a very low, but non zero,
tornado threat for the aforementioned region as well. In addition
to the aforementioned severe threat
Winds will begin increasing late this morning behind a passing dry
line. Sustained winds will be between 15 to 25 miles per hour with
wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour at times possible. As a result,
a Wind Advisory has been issued for points along and northwest of
Interstate 44 for this afternoon.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...High Wind Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...No Hazards.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
WEDNESDAY...No Hazards.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
After a fairly quiet and cold weekend where freeze/frost headlines
may be needed for Saturday morning, additional rounds of showers
and storms look to move into the area for the first half of next
week. The good news is that these showers and storms do not
appear to bring a whole lot of precipitation to the region at this
time.
