We'll be nearing the tail end of a multi-day stretch of severe weather potential Monday. The severe threat will be highest over more of the area on Monday compared to previous days. Storms are expected to develop as early as midday ahead of the dryline, in an environment that will be very unstable and strongly sheared by afternoon. Storms will be capable of producing high-impact severe weather, including very large hail and strong tornadoes. Another round of storms and some severe potential will accompany the cold front as it sweeps thru this evening.

Storms may develop as soon as midday, with the afternoon and evening time frame being the most favored for severe weather across eastern Oklahoma and northwest and west central Arkansas. Some severe threat may linger into early Tuesday morning as well.

Heavy rains fell yesterday across portions of far NE OK into NW AR. Multiple rounds of storms are expected again today and tonight in this same area. The heavy rains falling on more saturated soils will yield a medium chance for dangerous flash flooding.
