.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop late
this afternoon/early evening across north-central Oklahoma in the
vicinity of weak surface boundary and associated low pressure system.
This activity is forecast to spread into eastern Oklahoma and western
Arkansas through the evening hours as a mid-level shortwave currently
over southwest Kansas swoops through the area. There is the potential
that a few of the storms could be strong to severe this evening across
portions of eastern Oklahoma, mainly to the south of Highway 412 and
west of Highway 75. Large hail to the size of golf balls is the main
concern. Overall, the shower and storm activity is expected to move
out of the area late tonight.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Tuesday)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Wednesday into Thursday are expected to remain mostly dry as a cutoff
upper level takes shape over the Lower Mississippi Valley. Shower and
storm chances increase Thursday night into Friday as moisture associated
with Helene is incorporated into the cutoff low as it wobbles east of the
area. The highest probabilities of shower/storms are forecast across
western Arkansas as are the highest rainfall amounts. The upper level
low will finally begin to move off to the northeast over the weekend
with dry weather forecast for much of the area. Temperatures look to
be near normal for this time of year during this time-frame.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 646 PM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to spread south
and east this evening across E OK and NW AR with additional
development possible over the next several hours. This may lead
to at least brief ceiling & vsby reductions, with highest
potential for flight impacts expected for MLC. Most precip should
move south of TAF sites by 07z with clearing conditions behind
this activity. This may allow for development of fog late tonight/
tomorrow morning (low to medium chance). At this time, MLC and
FSM appear to be most favored for vsby reductions and have
included TEMPO groups here. Other sites in E OK & NW AR may also
experience at least brief vsby reductions, but confidence was not
high enough to include mention with this forecast issuance. Aside
from any lingering fog tomorrow morning, VFR conditions are
expected for the remainder of the period.

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

.DAY ONE...Remainder of This Afternoon and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma...West of Highway 75.
	ONSET...Late Afternoon.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Late Afternoon.

DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and thunderstorm will develop by late afternoon or
early evening across parts of eastern Oklahoma as a disturbance
drops southeast across the Plains. Sufficient instability and shear
in place could allow for a few of the initial thunderstorms to
become strong to severe, especially across central and into east
central Oklahoma this evening. Main threats will be hail up to half-
dollar size and damaging wind gusts. Any severe threat should wane
into the overnight hours and storms shift southeastward. Locally
heavy rainfall will also be a concern with the stronger storms.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
WEDNESDAY...No Hazards.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
MONDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Showers and a few thunderstorms will occur late Thursday through
Friday in association with an upper level storm system just to our
east. The greatest thunderstorm potential will be across far
eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas where locally heavy
rainfall will also be possible. Thunderstorm chances also continue
into the weekend as the upper low remains nearby before upper
ridging builds back in early next week with a return to more
settled conditions.
