TORNADO. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Along and south of Interstate 40. ONSET...Primarily after 6 PM. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. RISK...Significant. AREA...Along and southeast of Interstate 44. ONSET...Ongoing. AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Southeast Oklahoma. FLASH FLOOD. RISK...Elevated. AREA...All eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... Conditions continue to become more supportive of severe weather primarily along and south of Interstate 40. The combination of instability and favorable shear along a weak boundary which extends across southeast Oklahoma has created a corridor where storms will track this evening into the overnight hours and pose a risk of severe weather. Large hail and locally damaging winds will be primary hazard especially as an organized line of storms moves across the region later this evening. Scattered supercells are likely this afternoon through late evening and these storms will pose a risk of tornadoes especially in vicinity of the boundary across southeast Oklahoma. The severe weather risk is expected to diminish late tonight. Widespread and locally heavy rains will develop again overnight and flooding concerns will increase area wide. Avoid flooded roadways. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. WEDNESDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential and Heavy Rain Potential. THURSDAY and FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. SATURDAY and MONDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Thunderstorm chances remain high Wednesday into Wednesday night night continued risks of severe weather and flooding. The weather pattern will trend toward less active by late week with decreasing thunderstorm chances and potentially a dry period over the weekend. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
