.NOW...

AT 5:44 PM...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADARS CONTINUED TO
DETECT SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THESE SHOWERS WERE FORMING IN RESPONSE TO A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEAR THE OKLAHOMA...ARKANSAS...MISSOURI
BORDERS. A COUPLE REPORTS OF COLD AIR FUNNELS NEAR HASKELL AND
PORTER WERE ALSO RELAYED TO THE WEATHER SERVICE. THESE TYPES OF
FUNNELS TYPICALLY FORM UNDER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS LIKE THE ONE
OVERHEAD...AND USUALLY DO NOT REACH THE GROUND. THEY ARE NOT THE
SAME AS THUNDERSTORM BASED FUNNEL CLOUDS AND TORNADOES. ALL THIS
ACTIVITY WAS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST...AROUND 25 MILES PER
HOUR.

THROUGH 7:00 PM...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. RAINFALL WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT...WITH
BRIEF PASSING LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS OF LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN
INCH. ADDITIONAL COLD AIR FUNNELS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...BUT POSE
LITTLE TO NO THREAT OF DAMAGE...AS THEY ARE WEAK AND TYPICALLY DO
NOT REACH THE GROUND.
