DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE OCCURRING ACROSS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS MORNING AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINED POSITIONED NEAR THE OKLAHOMA KANSAS
BORDER. HEAVY RAINFALL HAS BEEN COMMON WITH THIS ACTIVITY...
CREATING POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING CONDITIONS OVER FAR NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST
AND SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING
THE DAY TODAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTHWARD. THE CORRIDOR
OF HEAVIER RAIN POTENTIAL WILL SHIFT SOUTH WITH THE FRONT DURING
THE DAY ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES REMAIN POSSIBLE AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

THERE IS ALSO A LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
FRONT TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. THIS POTENTIAL SHOULD SHIFT
SOUTHWARD WITH THE FRONT INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO WEST
CENTRAL ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A LIMITED SEVERE HAIL AND
WIND THREAT.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
LOCAL SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...HEAVY
	 RAIN POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
THURSDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS SATURDAY MORNING...WITH THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL REMAINING OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST LATE
SATURDAY AS THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION.

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES QUICKLY RETURN SUNDAY AND INCREASE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ARE FORECAST TO DIVE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. INCREASING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY INTERACTING
WITH THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. HEAVY RAINFALL WITH AN ADDITIONAL FLASH
FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AS THIS NEXT SYSTEM MOVES
THROUGH. STAY TUNED TO LATER UPDATES AS THIS TIME NEARS. PLEASANT
FALL WEATHER WILL RETURN BY TUESDAY.
