(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 903 PM CDT Tue May 7 2024

Quiet weather is likely for most of the night, although potential
for early morning showers and thunderstorms ahead of an
approaching cold front remains toward day break in northeast
Oklahoma. Earlier activity in southeast Oklahoma and into
southwest Arkansas remains more likely to stay east of the
forecast area given recent CAM runs. The going forecast remains on
track and an update is not planned this evening.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Tuesday)
Issued at 225 PM CDT Tue May 7 2024

Scattered thunderstorms are likely to continue Wednesday morning
in the vicinity of the warm front and the advancing cold front across
northeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas. There will continue to be
adequate instability and deep layer shear for these storms to be strong
to severe with large hail the main concern. However, any storms that can
get rooted in the boundary layer will be capable of producing damaging winds
and even a tornado. Additional thunderstorms are anticipated through the day
in the vicinity of the cold front as it moves through the remainder of
eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Any of these that develop during the
afternoon and early evening will have the potential to be severe with all
modes of severe weather possible. The storm potential comes to an end Wednesday
evening as the cold front exits the region.

Thursday through Sunday is forecast to be mostly dry with only a few showers/storms
possible across far southeast Oklahoma on Thursday as a storm system grazes the area to
the south. Otherwise, high pressure is expected to prevail. The next chance of
showers and storms arrives Sunday night and continues into early next week as
an upper level low drifts over the area.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 652 PM CDT Tue May 7 2024

Low level moisture increases from south to north tonight over the
CWA ahead of a cold front forecast to move into Northeast Oklahoma
during the morning hours Wednesday. Within this moisture
return...MVFR ceilings are forecast to develop and spread over
much of the CWA late tonight into Wednesday morning. MVFR
ceilings are then forecast to lift back to VFR late morning into
mid afternoon from west to east. Shower/storm chances also return
across Northeast Oklahoma Wednesday morning and push eastward with
the movement of the front. Additional storm development is
forecast over far Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas
Wednesday afternoon. Have added Tempo/Prob30 groups for timing.
Winds through the period start out light from the east to south
and become breezy out of the south to southwest ahead of the
front Wednesday morning. Winds mid afternoon Wednesday become
west to southwest ahead of the front and shift out of the
northwest behind the frontal passage.
