This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as much of Eastern Oklahoma. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight. THUNDERSTORMS WITH DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. RISK...Limited. AREA...Western Arkansas and far Eastern Oklahoma. ONSET...Ongoing. DANGEROUS HEAT. RISK...Limited. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. FIRE WEATHER DANGER. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... Afternoon heat indices around 100 degrees are expected this afternoon as the unseasonably hot weather continues. Gusty southerly winds combined with the hot temperatures and recent dry conditions will raise the potential for rapid fire spread this afternoon. Isolated thunderstorms will continue through early evening mainly east of U.S. Highway 69. Severe weather is not expected with any activity that does develop but wind gusts to 50 mph and occasional lightning can be expected. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to approach northeastern Oklahoma late tonight from the west and northwest. None of this activity is expected to be severe, although frequent lightning, wind gusts to 50 mph, and brief but locally heavy rainfall can be expected. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Spotter Activation Not Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. SATURDAY...Heavy Rain Potential. SUNDAY...No Hazards. MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. WEDNESDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for Friday afternoon through Saturday night for much of eastern Oklahoma and all of western Arkansas. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to become widespread across much of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas on Friday as a cold front moves into the area. This front is expected to focus heavy rainfall as it moves southward across the region through Sunday. An axis of three to six inch rainfall amounts is expected to occur across portions of eastern Oklahoma and west central Arkansas Friday through Sunday, with locally heavier amounts likely. The location of the heavier rain axis is uncertain at this time, but the latest thinking is that the heaviest rainfall will focus on east central and southeast Oklahoma as well as west central Arkansas. The heavy rains will raise the potential for flash and river flooding. A Fall like cold front will bring potential for more thunderstorms early next week before cooler and much drier air puts an end to rain and storm chances midweek. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$

Tropical moisture is being drawn into the system from the south. The rich moisture will interact with a surface cold front which will stall over eastern Oklahoma Friday night. There is the potential for a broad area of 3 to 5 inches of rain across the watch area, with locally higher amounts possible through Sunday. * These rainfall amounts could lead to flash flooding, especially near low-lying areas and smaller creeks and streams. Minor to moderate river flooding is also possible over those basins which receive the highest amounts. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A flash flood watch means rapidly rising water or flooding is possible within the watch area. If you are in the watch area, keep informed, and be ready for quick action if flash flooding is observed or if a warning is issued. && $$ CORFIDI
