THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...NORTHEAST
TEXAS...SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE THIS
AFTERNOON...AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRACKS SOUTHEAST
TOWARDS THE REGION. THIS ACTIVITY COULD THEN SPREAD INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA...SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND NORTHEAST TEXAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS SOUTH TOWARDS THE RED
RIVER VALLEY OF NORTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE
ATMOSPHERE REMAINS VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE...AND ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY OR MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
COULD BECOME SEVERE...PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY NUDGE ITS WAY SOUTH
INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS TONIGHT...WITH ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT AND DRY LINE INTERSECTION
LATE TONIGHT...WITH REDEVELOPMENT OCCURRING FARTHER EAST INTO
NORTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. THESE

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY NUDGE SOUTH THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF NORTHEAST TEXAS AND NORTH LOUISIANA BEFORE STALLING OUT
SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS
THAT THE MOST ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE
REGION OVER NORTHERN TEXAS...CONTINUED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
MOVING OVER THE REGION ATOP THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD HELP TO
INITIATE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY. GIVEN THE
MOIST AIR MASS IN PLACE...AND POSSIBLY SOME HEATING THAT MAY OCCUR
DURING THE DAY WHICH COULD FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE...SOME
OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE THURSDAY...PRODUCING LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGERS...SKYWARN NETWORKS...AND STORM
SPOTTERS...MAY BE NEEDED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
