...SEVERE POTENTIAL FRIDAY EVENING NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...
This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.
.DAY ONE...This Evening and Tonight.
SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Eastern Oklahoma; Northwest Arkansas.
ONSET...Ongoing.
FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Osage and Pawnee Counties.
ONSET...Ongoing.
DISCUSSION...
Gusty southerly winds will continue into the evening hours across
the region before lessening somewhat after sunset. Limited fire
weather concerns will continue primarily across Osage and Pawnee
Counties where fine fuels are still somewhat dry and min RH values
are the lowest. INcreased moisture and green up from recent rain
has tampered the fire weather concerns elsewhere.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
MONDAY...No Hazards.
TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
An unsettled weather pattern is expected to set up over the next
few days. A frontal boundary will drop down into the region
Friday and will provide a focus for an initial round of strong to
severe storms and locally heavy rainfall Friday night over
northeast Oklahoma. Additional rounds of strong to severe storms
and heavy rainfall are expected thru Saturday across eastern
Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas as the frontal boundary moves
slowly south and east. An upper disturbance will move into the
southern Plains Saturday night into Sunday, bringing an additional
round of strong to severe storms and heavy rainfall. Both flash
flooding and main-stem river flooding is likely to become an
issue over the weekend.
After a quiet start to the next work week, thunderstorm chances
will increase toward the middle of the week as an upper
disturbance moves into the Plains.
