...New SHORT TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1002 AM CDT Thu May 5 2022

Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms continue across the area
this morning with some brief heavy downpours possible. Significant
flash flooding and river flooding is ongoing, especially across
parts of eastern Oklahoma southeast of I-44. An axis of very heavy
rainfall of 7-10 inches of accumulation fell across portions of
northeast Oklahoma from Okfuskee county up to Delaware county and
into northwest Arkansas. Heed any road closures and remember to
turn around when encountering flooded roadways. There have been
several reports of roads washed out across the area and
significant river flooding is ongoing along the Illinois Basin and
in Okmulgee county.

The severe potential will be minimal this morning, with
increasing chances possible later this afternoon as more
instability builds in ahead of a cold front moving southeast
across the region. Portions of southeast Oklahoma, especially near
the Red River will have the best chance at seeing any severe
weather this afternoon where instability will be greatest and less
convective overturning of the airmass has occurred since last
night. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threat
with a very low chance at a tornado across far southeast Oklahoma.
Across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas a more limited
severe threat will persist through the afternoon with elevated
storms posing a large hail risk the main threat. A highly modified
atmosphere should keep the severe potential pretty isolated in
this area, but a few severe storms remain possible along the cold
front. More heavy rain and flooding could also occur as more
convective storms move over some of the same heavily impacted
areas this afternoon. The cold front will push through the area by
this evening taking the rain chances with it.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 321 AM CDT Thu May 5 2022

Light showers may accompany the closed low center as it passes
northern areas Friday, otherwise mild and dry weather will prevail
into Saturday. A quick and substantial moisture return will
accompany building ridging aloft to yield hot and humid conditions
Sunday through early next week and early season heat impacts are
possible. The highly amplified pattern aloft largely keeps
focusing surface boundaries will west and north of the region
through mid week. The pattern evolution for mid to late next week
remains complex and correspondingly uncertain.

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 631 AM CDT Thu May 5 2022

MVFR/IFR cigs and vsbys in periodic TSRA will continue at all
sites through the morning. Chances for thunder will lessen in the
18z-24z with the passage of a cold front, however MVFR/IFR
cigs will prevail for the remainder of the period.
