.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 215 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025

  - Additional widespread thunderstorms tonight with all severe
    hazards especially SE OK into western AR. Heavy rains and
    flooding footprint expand overnight.

  - Additional storms develop early Sunday with continue severe
    threat including tornado potential. Localized heavy rains will
    worsen any ongoing flooding.

  - Drier weather returns early next week, but unsettled weather
    resumes by midweek and continues into next weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 930 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025

Coverage of showers and thunderstorms across eastern Oklahoma and
northwest and west central Arkansas remains likely to expand
through the rest of the evening and into early Sunday morning,
with an increasing risk for both severe weather and heavy
rain/flash flooding expected. On the severe weather front, the
immediate concern involves the ongoing activity along the I-35
corridor in south central Oklahoma that has been slowly
approaching the western fringes of our southeast Oklahoma
counties. CAM and WoFS solutions have been consistent in bringing
these strong to severe storms into the area from southern
Pittsburg into western Pushmataha counties. The better surface-
based instability remains confined to far southeast Oklahoma,
supporting the locally better potential for tornadoes in this
area. In addition, these have been prolific rainfall producers,
with one-hour rainfall estimates in the 2 to 3 inch range. Expect
an increasing threat for at least 1 to 2 inch per hour rainfall
rates to expand into parts of southeast and east central Oklahoma
toward midnight.

With the increase in the low level jet, additional strong
to severe thunderstorms may increase further northward along the
front that extends northeastward to the south of I-44, given
modest instability along and south of the front at present. This
broader threat for severe weather may begin to wane after the 2-4
am time frame given an expected notable decrease in instability
afterward into sunrise Sunday. This activity, if it occurs, will
also lead to an increase in the flash flood threat farther
eastward.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025

Brief settled period Monday into Tuesday with mild temps and dry
weather. Main stem river flooding may continue during this period.

The pattern for mid to late week is expected to be near zonal
across the CONUS with several smaller scale waves expected to
quickly sweep eastward. Each wave will bring a higher chance of
showers and storms and the forecast will retain daily precip
chances from mid week through next weekend. Plenty of details yet
to be seen regarding specific severe and/or flooding risks but
climatology would favor some degree of severe potential for most
any period.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1252 AM CDT Sun Apr 20 2025

Varying conditions between IFR and VFR will continue across
eastern Oklahoma tonight with MVFR to VFR conditions for northwest
Arkansas as widespread showers and storms move through the region.
Within the stronger convection gusty winds and heavy rainfall are
forecast. The bulk of the current activity looks to move off to
the east during the morning hours Sunday with the potential for a
brief lull in activity. Additional showers and storms are forecast
to spread back into the CWA late morning through mid afternoon from
west to east as a low pressure system and the cold front finally
begin to push through the region. Again, IFR/MVFR conditions,
gusty winds and heavy rainfall are possible within the storms.
Behind the departing precip, VFR conditions and gusty
southwesterly winds are forecast into Sunday early evening. During
the evening hours, cloud cover looks to scatter out, though there
is potential for wrap around MVFR ceilings moving back into
northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas.
