THURSDAY...No Hazards. FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Very High Fire Weather Potential... High Wind Potential. SATURDAY...High Wind Potential. SUNDAY...No Hazards. MONDAY...Very High Fire Weather Potential...High Wind Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Two fast-moving storm systems will move across the Plains this week. The first system on Wednesday will bring isolated strong to severe storm potential from parts of southeast Oklahoma into western Arkansas late Wednesday afternoon and evening. The second and more potent system on Friday is expected to bring both severe thunderstorm and fire weather concerns to the region. Far eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas are currently most favored for severe weather Friday afternoon and evening, with areas along and west of Highway 69 in northeast Oklahoma having the greatest potential for near critical to locally critical fire weather conditions.
