.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 958 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

The forecast generally remains on track. Thus far, severe storms
have been confined to the far northwest part of our forecast
area, but that is about to change. Storms continue to increase in
coverage and intensity to our west, and these storms will move
into eastern Oklahoma within the next hour or so, with an all
hazard severe risk. A large QLCS will eventually evolve and sweep
across the entire forecast area overnight with damaging winds, a
few tornadoes, sporadic hail, and widespread heavy rainfall. Both
flash and river flood flooding will become a major concern heading
into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Have made only minor
changes to pops tonight, with the rest of the forecast on track at
this time.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Saturday)
Issued at 211 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Thunderstorms producing heavy rain and at least a low chance for
severe weather will be ongoing across parts of eastern Oklahoma
and northwest and west central Arkansas, with an expected decrease
in coverage and intensity toward mid morning. Another round of
thunderstorms with severe weather potential is expected to develop
along the cold front/dryline Sunday afternoon and into the
evening, with a lesser but still existent potential for tornadoes
and very large hail. The Flood Watch may need to be extended in
time to account for this activity across eastern parts of the
watch area.

A short break in the active pattern is expected Monday and into
Tuesday, with a period of dry weather for much of those two days.
The dry weather will be short-lived with multiple rounds of
showers and thunderstorms, including some potential for severe
thunderstorms, mid to late week.

DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity
this evening. The threat of severe weather is present across the
entire area, but the greatest threat will be across eastern
Oklahoma. All severe hazards will be possible, including
tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. By late this evening,
additional storms to the west will merge with ongoing activity,
and will shift the severe threat towards a heavy rain and flash
flooding threat. The highest flood threat remains across eastern
Oklahoma, but all areas have at least some potential. Total
rainfall in the hardest hit areas may exceed several inches.

Continue to pay special attention to forecast updates considering
the ongoing dual threat of severe weather and flooding rains through
tonight.
