FIRE WEATHER DANGER.

ONSET...Ongoing...tapering off this evening.
DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms are expected to develop to the west of the region
this evening, and then progress into northeast Oklahoma late this
evening and overnight while transitioning into organized clusters
or lines posing a high severe risk. Locally damaging winds will
be the primary threat through the event, with a limited tornado
threat both with the initial storms and with any organized bowing
line segments. Large hail may also accompany the initial more
cellular storms. Additional storms may spread into southeast
Oklahoma overnight, however uncertainty remains high in the
overall coverage and duration of storms across this region. Should
storms develop and persist then they will also pose a risk of
severe weather. Locally heavy rainfall may also occur with the
stronger storms, which may result in localized flooding concerns.
Gusty south winds and lower humidity west of highway 75 will raise
fire weather concerns into early this evening.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential.
MONDAY...No Hazards.
TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Very High Fire Weather Potential...
High Wind Potential.
WEDNESDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
There is a limited risk of severe weather Sunday afternoon along
and ahead of an advancing cold front. The risk will be greatest
from far southeast Oklahoma into west central Arkansas. Large
hail and damaging winds are the primary threats. The threats will
shift south and east of the region by evening.
Winds increase on Tuesday with a window for higher grassland fire
spread rates Tuesday afternoon. This will be in advance of the next
cold front which passes Tuesday night into Wednesday. A line of
thunderstorms with a risk of severe weather is expected to accompany
the passing cold front. The front is likely to stall near the Red
River by early Thursday and focus additional showers and thunderstorms
Thursday into Friday as it lifts north as a warm front. Locally
heavy rainfall is possible during this time frame with details in
location and amounts to be refined in later forecasts.
