DISCUSSION...
Widespread thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon
over Oklahoma, working their way east to include northwest
Arkansas during the evening hours and overnight. The threat of
severe weather is present across the area, but the greater threat
will be over eastern Oklahoma. All severe hazards will be possible,
including tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds as storms move
into the area from the west. Over time, merging storms will gradually
shift the multi hazard severe threat towards wind and spin-up tornadoes.
As repeated rounds of storms will move over the same areas, there is
an elevated risk of heavy rain and flash flooding. The highest threat
will be in northeast Oklahoma, but all areas have at least some potential.
Total rainfall in the hardest hit areas may exceed several inches.

Today will be a day to pay special attention to forecast updates
considering the dual threat of severe weather and flooding rains.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

finally moves east. Additional strong to severe storms are possible
over southeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas Sunday afternoon.
Winds will remain breezy with gusts of 30-40 mph.

For the rest of the week we will see additional rounds of rain and
thunderstorms, including the threat of severe weather and heavy
rains for mid week.
