THUNDERSTORMS WITH DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Far Northeast Oklahoma near the Kansas and Missouri borders. ONSET...This Evening. POOR VISIBILITY. RISK...Limited. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing...ending by mid-morning. DISCUSSION... Patchy fog will reduce visibilities over short distances this morning. The fog will lift by mid-morning. Thunderstorms are expected to develop along an advancing cold front across southern Kansas this afternoon. There is a chance that a few of those storms could move into far northeast Oklahoma this evening before dissipating. Severe weather is not expected due to waning instability after sunset, but brief heavy downpours and gusty winds will accompany any storm that manages to move into the area. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Spotter Activation Not Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. THURSDAY...No Hazards. FRIDAY and SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. SUNDAY...Heavy Rain Potential. MONDAY and TUESDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... A stronger cold front is expected to arrive Friday, and will focus storm chances that shift from north and south across the area through Saturday. While some uncertainty exists in the details, there is potential that the remnant moisture from what is now Hurricane Lorena in the Pacific could track across southern Oklahoma on Sunday. This would raise heavy rainfall and flood potential. Future forecasts will continue to refine the details. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
