Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 77 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Friday)
Issued at 1109 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Cluster of thunderstorms continues ahead of a weak frontal
boundary moving across northeast OK. Environment continues to
support a low-end threat of downburst winds tonight, and most
data suggests a potential uptick in coverage of storms later
tonight favored along and south of I-40 . Flooding potential also
will exist with PWAT values 1.5-1.8 inches analyzed through the
local area.

Rain and storm coverage is expected to wane through the early part
of Friday as the front basically washes out. Temperatures should
be slightly cooler but it will remain humid.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 1109 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Complex of storms potentially makes a run at northeast OK and
northwest AR late Friday night, but the Saturday night into Sunday
time frame continues to be indicated as the period with highest
potential for more widespread heavy rainfall. During this time a
more significant cold front is forecast to push through the
Central Plains toward the local area, with widespread showers and
thunderstorms developing across southern KS into northern OK,
with both a threat of severe weather and excessive rainfall.
Latest suite of guidance continues to point toward northeast OK
as the more favored area for heavy rain, locally several inches
possible. A flood watch may ultimately be needed as this region
has seen recent heavy rainfall with some ongoing river flooding as
well. After a hot an humid day Saturday, temperatures will be
notably cooler to start next week.

Overall rain and storm chances will decrease during the early part
of next week with a period of below normal temperatures before
more typical early summer conditions return. Storm chances may
increase again later next week as well.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 636 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Convection will continue to spread east and southeast tonight as a
frontal boundary sags southeast through the CWA. Within the
convection, gusty winds, heavy rain and brief MVFR conditions
could develop. Will continue with tempo groups for timing of
greater potential for each TAF site. Behind the convection, a
period of lingering showers are forecast while ceilings become
scattered/broken mid and high clouds into Friday morning. There
is potential in southeast Oklahoma of MVFR ceilings and additional
showers holding into Friday morning as the boundary slows it
momentum before retreating northward during the day. As the
boundary lifts back over the CWA, again scattered mid and high
clouds are forecast Friday afternoon. Winds through the period
start out southerly, transition to northerly and then easterly
tonight behind the boundary, and finally east to southeast once
the front lifts back through Friday.

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

.DAY ONE...This Evening and Tonight.

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

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DANGEROUS HEAT.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing Through Early Evening.

DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorms will continue to develop along a southeastward
moving frontal boundary over northeast Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas this evening, and then into southeast Oklahoma tonight.
Increasing severe potentials into this evening will support the
threat for large hail and damaging winds. Overnight, storms are
expected to be more linear with the threat transitioning to mainly
locally damaging wind gusts. Overall severe potentials, weaken
overnight, though thunderstorm chances continue across southeast
Oklahoma and west central Arkansas into early Friday morning. In
addition to the severe threat, quick heavy rains could lead to a
local flash flood risk into tonight.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SATURDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential...Heavy
		   Rain Potential.
SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
WEDNESDAY...High Wind Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Shower and storm activity should be ongoing in southeast Oklahoma
Friday morning, and then diminish during the day. Additional storms
are forecast Friday night into Saturday morning across far
northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas as one or more nocturnal
storm complexes move through the region. The front that crosses
our area tonight and Friday will redevelop north Saturday and be
the focus for widespread thunderstorm development late Saturday
afternoon and evening in southern Kansas to northern Oklahoma.
These storms will pose an excessive rain threat and some severe
storm potential. Measurable rain will fall across most if not all
of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas Saturday night into
Sunday while a cold front moves into the region. Local rainfall
amounts of 3 to 5 inches, though an isolated amount near 7 inches
is not out of the question given the current data.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Emergency managers should continue to closely follow the forecast
into the weekend. Severe weather operations will be necessary at
times. The main concern appears to be the potential for excessive
rain. Flash flooding concerns will increase over the next several
days. The excessive rains, depending on exactly where they fall,
could easily aggravate creek and river flooding.
