ONSET...Ongoing.
DISCUSSION...
Near record to record heat continues areawide today, with heat
index values ranging from 105 to 113 degrees across the area. Periods
of gusty winds along with the ongoing drought conditions will
also raise fire weather concerns as vegetation has become
increasingly stressed throughout the region.
Isolated thunderstorms will again be possible by mid afternoon,
mainly from southeast Oklahoma into west central and northwest
Arkansas. Brief periods of heavy rain, along with locally damaging
downburst wind gusts will be the primary concern with any
thunderstorms that do develop. Any storm activity should dissipate
around or shortly after sunset this evening.

Spotter Activation Not Expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Dangerous heat will persist Wednesday afternoon, with near
record high temperatures. Spotty afternoon thunderstorms are
possible during the afternoon hours. A slow moving cold front is
forecast to arrive late Wednesday evening through Thursday. Widely
scattered showers and scattered thunderstorms are likely to spread
along and north of the front with the highest rain chances
generally along and north of Interstate 40. Slightly cooler
temperatures are expected Thursday into Friday with hot weather
likely to return by the weekend. Daily thunderstorm chances
continue into next weekend but uncertainty remains high with how
the weather pattern will transition in the wake of the mid week
cold front.
