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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest and West Central Arkansas.
ONSET...This Morning.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...Limited to Locally Elevated.
AREA...Northeast Oklahoma...Especially Osage County.
ONSET...Midday.

DISCUSSION...
North to northwesterly winds will increase and become gusty
through the morning, with maximum gusts in the 35 to 40 mph range.
The gusty winds will combine with low relative humidities to
locally raise the fire weather concerns in parts of northeast
Oklahoma where fuels are dry. Northern portions of Osage County
will have the highest threat for fire spread given the relative
lack of rainfall the last few days. Both the fire weather concerns
and the gusty winds will decrease with sunset.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...High Wind Potential.
MONDAY...Severe Thunderstorm...High Wind...and Heavy Rain Potential.
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm and High Wind Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Southerly winds will make a return Friday and continue through
the weekend into early next week. Gusts from 25 to 30 mph are
expected each day beginning Saturday.

The threat for severe thunderstorms will increase late Monday and
into early Tuesday morning as a strong storm system swings into
the Central Plains. Although details have low confidence this far
in advance, current data support all thunderstorm hazards,
including large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and locally heavy
rain. Continue to monitor future forecasts and outlooks as Monday
approaches for critical details.

The weather pattern will remain active into mid week, with
additional thunderstorm chances expected Wednesday.
