THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

A FEW ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE POSSIBLE TO THE NORTH AND

SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
MONDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ON MONDAY AND ESPECIALLY
TUESDAY AS A LEE TROUGH GETS ESTABLISHED OVER THE HIGH PLAINS.
GUSTS COULD REACH 30 MPH ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ON
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

MOISTURE RETURN FROM THE GULF WILL COMBINE WITH A WEAK AND SLOW
MOVING UPPER DISTURBANCE TO PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE REGION
FOR THE MIDDLE TO LATTER PART OF THE WORK WEEK. DUE TO WEAKER THAN
AVERAGE WIND SHEAR FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...THE SEVERE RISK WILL BE
LIMITED AT BEST.
