.NOW...

AT 6:49 PM...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADARS CONTINUED TO
DETECT A FEW REMAINING ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE
PRECIPITATION HAD DECREASED IN COVERAGE OVER THE PAST HOUR. THESE
SHOWERS WERE FORMING IN RESPONSE TO A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITING
THE REGION. 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 20 MILES PER
HOUR.

THROUGH 8:00 PM...ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. RAINFALL WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT...WITH
BRIEF PASSING SHOWERS DROPPING LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH OF
RAINFALL. 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.
