	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
A STATIONARY FRONT LIES EAST TO WEST ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL REMAIN A FOCUS
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DRIFTS VERY SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH.
WARM AND UNSTABLE AIR REMAINS OVER THE REGION AND SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE NEAR AND TO THE NORTH OF
THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH TODAY. HAIL AND STRONG WINDS CONTINUES TO BE
THE MAIN THREAT BUT WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR AN
ISOLATED TORNADO.

SLOW MOVEMENT ALONG WITH ABUNDANT AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE
THE THREAT OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING
DUE TO SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
LATEST MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE A POTENT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE GREAT PLAINS IN THE THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY TIME FRAME. AT THIS TIME...ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER APPEARS LIKELY. WIND SHEAR PROFILES SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY LARGE
HAIL AND LONG TRACKED TORNADOES.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES NEED TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND DISCUSSIONS
REGARDING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR LATE NEXT WEEK.
