This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as

ONSET...Ongoing.
DANGEROUS HEAT.

AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and West-Central Arkansas.
ONSET...This Afternoon.
AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Along and west of Highway 69 in Oklahoma.
DISCUSSION...
Scattered thunderstorms will continue early this morning across
northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. These storms may
produce marginally severe hail and wind gusts. Then, an additional
line of thunderstorms will surge into eastern Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas through the morning hours bringing an elevated
threat of damaging outflow winds.
Precipitation is expected to move south with decreasing cloud
cover this afternoon, allowing temperatures to recover. Hot
temperatures and humid conditions will create dangerous heat
indices between 105 to 109 degrees across much of eastern
Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas. Depending on storm coverage
and resultant temperature recovery this afternoon, heat indices
may exceed 110 degrees along and west of highway 69. Please
continue to take the heat seriously and take precautions when
spending time outdoors today.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
THURSDAY...No Hazards.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential...
...Dangerous Heat Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...Dangerous Heat Potential.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Drier and slightly cooler air should allow heat indices on
Thursday to mostly remain in the upper 90s or lower 100s. However,
dangerous heat will return this weekend and into next week.
Another frontal boundary may bring low storm chances back to
northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas Saturday into Sunday.
Otherwise the forecast remains dry with above normal temperatures
persisting into next week. Heat stress impacts may steadily intensify
given the long duration of hot and humid conditions.
