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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.
TORNADO.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Primarily northeast Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Significant.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Significant.
	AREA...Along and north of Interstate 40.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will continue to sweep eastward
across areas along and north of Interstate 40 through the morning. Locally
damaging winds are likely along the line of storms. Additionally, a brief
tornado could develop at times within the most intense portion of the line
of storms. Extremely heavy rainfall rates have also been measured and
rapid onset flash flooding is likely which could impact the morning
commute. Storms will end across the region by mid afternoon. A brief lull
in thunderstorm coverage is likely from late afternoon through mid evening.
Thereafter, additional storms are expected to develop across the region
and increase in coverage into the overnight hours. Severe weather is
possible again tonight into Saturday morning.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
SATURDAY...Severe Thunderstorm and Heavy Rain Potential.
SUNDAY and MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
TUESDAY...No Hazards.
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Strong to severe storms may be ongoing early Saturday as another
thunderstorm complex impacts the region. A similar pattern is likely to
develop Saturday night into Sunday with the focus for strongest storms
shifting southward to areas along and south of Interstate 40. Yet another
thunderstorm complex is likely Sunday night into Monday and may impact
southeast Oklahoma. Repeated instances of heavy rain will likely lead
to flash flooding and main stem river flooding.
