A frontal boundary is forecast to lift back northward Saturday afternoon and night, which will aid in increasing thunderstorm chances for eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. A moderate to slight severe weather risk is outlooked for eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas Saturday. Large hail to very large hail and damaging winds are the primary severe threats, but a elevated tornado risk will exist, especially south of Highway 412.
Here is a first look at the severe weather timing for Saturday across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
A marginal risk for excessive rainfall and localized flooding will develop Saturday afternoon and evening as storms potentially move over the same areas. Locally up to 2 to 3 inches of rain could occur leading to flooding of urban and low lying areas along with small creeks and streams.
Strong to severe thunderstorms will once again be possible from Sunday afternoon through the evening hours. Uncertainty remains in how widespread coverage of storms will be. Any storms that do develop with be capable of all severe hazards including large to very large hail and a few tornadoes.
A marginal risk for severe storms continues across northwest Arkansas Monday as a dry line moves into the region. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the main hazards. Storms should exit by Monday evening.
