...LIMITED SEVERE THREAT AFTER MIDNIGHT SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...


This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...South of Interstate 40.
ONSET...After Midnight.

DISCUSSION...
Another round of thunderstorms is expected to develop near and
just north of a stalled frontal boundary toward daybreak Thursday,
most likely across areas south of Interstate 40. These storms will
largely pose a large hail threat, although depending on how far
north the boundary stalls, there may also be an excessive
rainfall, damaging wind, and limited tornado threat.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
THURSDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential
        ...Heavy Rain Potential.
SUNDAY...High Wind Potential.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
The weather pattern remains favorable for multiple rounds of
heavy rain and thunderstorms Thursday through Saturday especially
from southeast Oklahoma through northwest Arkansas. Expect both
flash flooding and main stem river flooding concerns to increase
both Friday and Saturday. Severe weather potential will also exist
Thursday and Friday, focused across areas south and east of
Interstate 44. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main
concerns, although a limited threat for tornadoes may also exist.

Rain chances will gradually end during the daytime Sunday, with
breezy northerly winds persisting through the afternoon.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Severe weather and flooding impacts are likely to impact
parts of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas now through the
weekend. Multiple periods of response may be required.
