IN THE LAST TWO HOURS THE CAP HAS WEAKENED
FROM WHERE THE CURRENT STORMS ARE IN
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
WHILE THE FLOW ALOFT IS WEAK...THE SEQUENCE
OF BOUNDARY COLLISIONS THAT IS ONGOING AND
THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING
COULD VERY WELL FORCE STORMS IN THE NEXT

PERHAPS AS FAR NORTH AS WAGONER...CHEROKEE
AND ADAIR COUNTIES.

WITH CAPE OF 3000 TO 4000 J/KG TO WORK WITH...
THE CURRENT STORMS CONTINUE TO HAVE A PULSE
SEVERE THREAT...ESPECIALLY AS CELLS MERGE.
OF MORE CONCERN IS THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL
IN PITTSBURG...LATIMER...AND PUSHMATAHA COUNTIES
WITH REPEATED CELL MERGERS AND TRAINING IS
RESULTING IN PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN.  RADAR

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...AFTER 3 PM.

DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES NEAR 90 DEGREES COUPLED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MIDDLE

REMAINING WEAKLY CAPPED...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OVER
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA SOUTH OF THE WEAK WARM FRONT.

DUE TO THE HIGH INSTABILITY AND WEAK SHEAR...THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS...MAINLY FROM DECAYING THUNDERSTORMS. IN
ADDITION...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE LIKELY AS STORMS WILL BE
SLOW MOVING.

ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
DUE TO THE ISOLATED NATURE OF THE CONVECTION...SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS
NOT EXPECTED NEEDED.

MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT AWAY FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS LATE THIS WEEKEND ALLOWING MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS THAT
WILL EXIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER LATER IN THE WEEK DUE TO A SLOW
MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS ENHANCING THE POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATE NEXT WEEK.
