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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Northeast Oklahoma.
ONSET...After 9PM.

SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Eastern Oklahoma.
ONSET...Mid morning.

DISCUSSION...
A cold front now across western Kansas will move southeast today
and be the trigger for showers and thunderstorms later this
afternoon across central Kansas through northwest Oklahoma. Ahead
of this feature, a few elevated showers or isolated thunderstorms
may develop across northeast Oklahoma this morning through
afternoon. This activity is not expected to be severe.

The potential for stronger storms will develop after 9PM across
northeast Oklahoma and across northwest Arkansas after midnight,
as a line of storms moves into the area from Kansas. Some of
these storms could be strong or briefly severe, with damaging
winds the main threat.

South winds will also be quite strong today, with wind gusts above
30 miles per hour across portions of eastern Oklahoma.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
SUNDAY through TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
WEDNESDAY...No Hazards.
THURSDAY and FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
The cold front will likely stall across the area on Sunday and
Monday. The surface boundary combined with favorable southwest
flow aloft will result in an unsettled weather pattern with storm
chances continuing through at least mid week across northeast
Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
