...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1228 AM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

 - The potential for locally heavy rainfall and rapid onset flash
   flooding is the main concern through Saturday morning. Limited
   threat of severe weather through early Saturday morning.

 - A big shift in the weather pattern will bring hot, humid and
   dry weather starting this weekend on into next week. Heat
   advisory headlines will likely be needed.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Saturday)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

Clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms were ongoing late
Friday evening across portions of the region, particularly along
and north of I-44 in far NE OK and in C OK. This activity is
likely to continue through the overnight period owing to continued
WAA as a strengthening LLJ impinges on remnant outflow boundaries
in the area. Near-term guidance indicates a MCV/vort max will
slide east over the area during the early morning hours which will
keep at least low rain chances going past sunrise.

Heavy rainfall and flash flooding potential are the main concerns
through the overnight hours, as slow-moving storms will continue
to be efficient rainfall producers within an anomalously moist
environment (PWATs > 2 in). Rainfall rates in excess of 2 in/hr
and totals between 2-4 inches (locally greater than 5 inches) will
be possible in the hardest hit areas tonight. This will continue
to lead to rapid-onset flash flooding, potentially life-
threatening, as soils remain saturated from previous days
rainfall.

Guidance generally points to two areas of heaviest rainfall in
the forecast area tonight, one of which is already occurring near
the OK-KS border in NE OK, and another further to the south /
southwest. So far, locations near the OK-KS border have received
the most rainfall with flash flooding ongoing as a slow-moving
line of regenerating storms persists. This area of convection may
tend to sag south and expand eastward overnight with continued
flash flood potential. To the southwest, in central Oklahoma,
strong to severe storms have recently become more concentrated
near the Oklahoma City metro area. As this activity slides east-
southeast with time, a focused area of heavy rainfall is forecast
to develop overnight with increasing low- level flow. While some
uncertainty still exists with exact placement, current indications
paint the heaviest rainfall axis along and north of I-40 in
Creek, Okfuskee, and Okmulgee counties. These areas have seen
several inches of rainfall over the past few days and are
particularly susceptible to flash flooding. Aforementioned storms
closer to the OK-KS border may tend to weaken if this southern
band of storms becomes dominant. A Flood Watch remains in effect
for all of northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas until 7
AM. The severe threat will tend to diminish with time, but
marginally severe wind or hail remains possible into the early
morning.

Most rainfall is expected to conclude by mid-late morning as
storms weaken and shift east of the area. Skies will clear from
west to east through the day with plenty of sunshine expected
during the afternoon. This will allow temperatures to warm into
the upper 80s/lower 90s. With dewpoints remaining elevated, heat
indices will likely rise above 100 degrees and perhaps above 105
degrees (advisory criteria) this afternoon. An advisory may become
required, but with uncertainty regarding lingering precip/cloud
cover during the morning, will hold off on issuing with this
forecast cycle.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

Much quieter weather is forecast through the remainder of the
forecast period as ridging moves into the region. Temperatures
will remain very warm over the next several days, with highs in
the 90s and lows in the 70s. Elevated dewpoints will continue to
provide heat indices over 100-105 degrees each day, and heat
headlines will likely be needed. While some isolated afternoon
convection will be possible by mid to late next week, mainly
across the terrain of NW AR/SE OK, dry conditions overall are
expected.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1221 AM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through the period outside of
thunderstorm impacts. Ongoing storms located over central OK will
eventually expand into part of northeast OK over the next few
hours and ultimately into northwest AR after 09z. IFR conditions
can be expected within storms along with gusty and erratic winds.
Showers and storms will decrease from the west Saturday morning
with decreasing clouds and gusty south winds through the day.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited to Elevated.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and far Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing...waning after midnight.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated to Significant.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and far Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...After 7 PM.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Along and north of highway 412.

DANGEROUS HEAT.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...

Numerous storms are expected to develop near a boundary across
northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Some storms may become
severe with damaging winds and large hail the main threats.

Intense rain rates from slow-moving and/or training storms will
yield elevated to significant flash flood potential tonight.
Locally high-end rainfall totals are possible, in the 3 to 7 inch
range. With soils fairly saturated, most of this rain will likely
be runoff and cause dangerous rapid-onset flash flooding.
Flooding on main-stem rivers is also possible if rains fall in
the right basins.

Heat index values between 100 and 105 degrees are occurring in
spots across northeast Oklahoma, especially in the Arkansas River
Valley. Conditions will improve after sunset this evening.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
SATURDAY...Thunderstorm...High Wind...Dangerous Heat Potential.
SUNDAY and MONDAY...High Wind...Dangerous Heat Potential.
TUESDAY...Dangerous Heat Potential.
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY...Thunderstorm...Dangerous Heat Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

Showers and storms may linger into early Saturday before ending.
Hot, humid, and breezy conditions are then expected for the rest
of this weekend through much of next week. Afternoon heat index
values will likely exceed 105 degrees in many places Saturday
through Thursday and heat headlines may be needed across parts of
the forecast area through much of next week. Low thunderstorm
chances may return to the higher terrain of southeast Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas by the middle of next week.
