.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 858 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022

Scattered thunderstorms have developed this morning to
the north of a quasi stationary boundary that meanders
across east-central Oklahoma into west-central Arkansas.
This activity will continue to spread to the southeast
through the morning and exit the area by early afternoon.
Some of the storms could be strong to severe. Rainfall rates
of 1 to 2 inches per hour could cause rapid onset flash flooding
in areas where the ground is already saturated from previous
rains. A flood watch is in effect for portions of east-central
Oklahoma and western Arkansas where heavy rains occurred yesterday.

A Thunderstorm complex currently across south-central Oklahoma
could spread into southeast Oklahoma later this morning. This
complex of storms has a history of producing severe winds and
very heavy rains. This trend is expected to continue as it
moves into southeast Oklahoma. This activity would also likely
move out of the area by mid-afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday)
Issued at 334 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022

The associated front/outflow will push south of the area this
evening leaving northerly winds in its wake. Low level moisture
however looks to pool along the boundary and with another
shortwave possible in northwest flow and/or isentropic lift over
the boundary have left some low POPs across southeast Oklahoma
through Thursday morning.

Another, and possibly final round of thunderstorms is expected
Thursday night into Friday. Low level moisture will return across
the area during the day Thursday and with additional support from
a more robust shortwave in northwest flow combined with a strong
mid- level front will set the stage for additional heavy rainfall.
Instability in advance of the approaching system and deep layer
shear provided by northwest flow aloft will help maintain any
bowing MCS that develops with damaging winds a possibility. The
bulk of the activity should move out of northwest Arkansas by mid-
afternoon with any lingering showers ending by sunset.

Mid-level heights begin to build quickly behind the departing
shortwave as a ridge initially centered near El Paso on Saturday
begins to broaden across the southern U.S. through the weekend.
This pattern change will initiate a significant warm-up with high
humidity likely to accompany temperatures climbing well into the
90s by Sunday. Although heat index values will likely remain below
advisory levels through the forecast, the combination of hot
temperatures, high humidity, and full sunshine will create a
significant heat stress, especially on those not already
acclimated or vulnerable to heat exposure.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 610 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022

Corridor of showers and storms from NE OK into west central AR
will persist and likely expand in coverage while gradually
spreading southeastward through the morning. All terminals will
retain a mention of storms and periodic MVFR to IFR ceilings.
Storm impacts will continue across SE OK into west central AR
through early afternoon with a clearing trend thereafter. Low
chance of storms redeveloping overnight but no mention within fcst
at this time. Also patchy fog is likely tonight especially across
far NW AR sites.
