HEAVY RAIN.
RISK...Limited.

DISCUSSION...
Scattered thunderstorms are expected across northeast Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas ahead of an upper low and weak cold front.
Organized severe weather is not expected, but a few of these
storms could become severe briefly with hail and wind the main
threats. Locally heavy rainfall from these storms could lead to
flash flooding.

A complex of storms could organize tonight and move east across
southern Oklahoma. There is a limited risk of severe wind from
these storms if they were to move into southeast Oklahoma before
weakening.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.


FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
The unsettled weather pattern continues through the middle of next
week, with daily thunderstorm chances. The greatest potential for
significant severe weather will be from Monday onward as the flow
aloft strengthens. The potential for flash flooding will exist
with any pockets of locally heavy rainfall that occurs, especially
this weekend.
