ONSET...Late Afternoon or Early Evening DANGEROUS HEAT. RISK...Significant. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas. DISCUSSION... Strong to severe thunderstorms will likely develop late this afternoon or early evening across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. These storms will spread east and southeast over the region through this evening, with additional shower and storm potential overnight as a cold front pushes through. Ample instability in place will support severe potential, with damaging wind gusts of 70 to 80 mph the primary threat, with quarter size hail a lesser threat. The severe threat will begin to diminish by late evening as storms move farther into southeast Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas. Dangerous heat and humidity will continue into this evening with heat indices in the 105 to 114 degree range. Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings remain in effect until 9 pm for all eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Decreased heat and humidity are expected behind the cold front on Friday. At least low thunderstorm chances will exist over the holiday weekend into the early to middle part of next week as a series of upper level disturbances move out of the central Plains. There is some potential for a thunderstorm complex to impact portions of the area Sunday night. Timing and details will continue to be refined in the coming days. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT... Heat related illness will remain a significant concern today. Additionally, thunderstorms could impact some outdoor Fourth of July activities. Portions of the heat advisory/warning will likely be cancelled early as cooler outflow develops from the expected thunderstorm activity. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
