DISCUSSION...
Strong and gusty winds will continue through the morning and
afternoon, with gusts in the 35 to 45 mph range expected across
much of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. The gusty winds
will combine with well above normal temperatures and slow to
return moisture to lead to an increased threat for rapid fire
spread in much of the area today. Both the windy conditions and
the fire weather threat will improve with sunset.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.

FRIDAY...Thunderstorm...High Fire Weather...and High Wind Potential.
SATURDAY...High Fire Weather and High Wind Potential.
SUNDAY...High Wind Potential.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Wind gusts from 25 to 35 mph will remain possible on Friday ahead
of the approaching cold front, which could lead to localized
increases in the fire weather concerns. A few showers and
thunderstorms may develop in portions of southeast Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas late Friday into early Saturday morning, with a
limited threat for strong to severe weather. After the cold front
passes, winds will shift to the northwest and remain gusty
through Sunday. This may locally continue the fire weather
concerns. Quiet weather will follow through mid week.
