...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING THREATS THROUGH THURSDAY...

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.
TORNADO.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...After 3 PM.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Critical.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Eastern Oklahoma.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms are ongoing early this afternoon, primarily across
northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas. These storms are
shifting to the east-northeast and will continue to pose a limited
threat for severe weather and heavy rainfall, eventually moving
out of the forecast area by late afternoon.

Additional isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to
develop later this afternoon and evening across east central and
southeast Oklahoma near and south of a warm front. These storms
will likely be severe, with large hail, damaging winds and
tornadoes all possible.

More widespread thunderstorms to the west are likely to organize
into a squall line and push eastward across the area this evening
and into early Thursday morning. The squall line will pose a
damaging wind threat, with potential for isolated gusts above 70
mph, and possibly tornadoes. In addition, the threat for flash
flooding will increase due to the multiple rounds of
thunderstorms with heavy rainfall expected.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
THURSDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential...
           Heavy Rain Potential.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...No Hazards.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...High Wind Potential.
TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Severe weather could be ongoing early Thursday morning and storms
may also redevelop Thursday afternoon along an advancing cold
front. While uncertainty remains in the coverage of storms by
Thursday afternoon, any storms which do develop would pose a risk
of severe weather.

Dry and mild weather prevails Friday before a notable change
occurs over the weekend. Hot and humid conditions will develop
Sunday and persist through early next week. The early season heat
often raises potential for heat stress for any outdoor activities.
