This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.
FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...West of Highway 75 in Northeast and East Central Oklahoma.
ONSET...Ongoing.
DISCUSSION...
North to northeasterly winds will continue to gust to 20 mph this
afternoon across parts of eastern Oklahoma and combined with
minimum relative humidities from 30 to 40 percent, will lead to a
limited risk of rapid fire spread for areas along and west of
Highway 75 in northeast and east central Oklahoma. Conditions will
improve by early evening.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
TUESDAY...Winter Weather Potential.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...No Hazards.
SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SUNDAY...No Hazards.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Accumulating ice, snow and sleet remain likely for portions of
eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas Tuesday and into Tuesday
night. Showers are expected to move into parts of southeast
Oklahoma Tuesday morning and expand northward during the day. With
a cold airmass already in place, precipitation will likely begin
as a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain across all except
far southeast Oklahoma. However, as warmer air moves into the
area from the south, areas especially along and south of
Interstate 40 should see all rain during the afternoon hours.
Drizzle and freezing drizzle will be the most likely precipitation
types Tuesday night, as the mid levels begin to dry out from the
southwest.
Uncertainties remain with the evolution of surface temperatures
and also how quickly the mid levels will dry out, both of which
will impact precipitation types and timing their transitions at
any one location. At this time, the highest ice accumulations look
to be within the higher terrain areas of far northwest Arkansas,
while the maximum snow and sleet accumulations look most likely to
the northwest of Interstate 44. Stay up-to-date with latest
updates as details continue to be refined.
The middle to latter part of the work week should be fairly quiet,
but another storm system on Saturday will bring the potential for
scattered thunderstorms, locally heavy rain, and perhaps a few
severe thunderstorms.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Continue to monitor latest forecasts as ice, snow, and sleet
accumulations could create hazardous travel and perhaps isolated
power outages, especially across parts of far northwest Arkansas.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight
Through tonight, the threat of hazardous weather is low at this
time.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday Through Sunday
Rainfall will develop during the day Tuesday, as a storm system
approaches the region. The rain could be mixed with light wintry
precipitation during the afternoon over far northwest Arkansas.
At this time, no significant impacts are expected.
Several more storm systems will affect the state through Sunday,
bringing multiple rounds of rain. The rain will be heavy at times.
The excessive rainfall is expected to slow or halt the fall of river
levels that were significantly impacted by last weeks heavy rain. In
addition to potentially elevating river levels across central and eastern
Arkansas, flash flooding will be a concern.
A strong storm system will affect the state this weekend, and could
bring the threat of severe thunderstorms on Saturday.
Stay informed by monitoring the latest forecasts and outlooks
from your National Weather Service forecast offices.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest
Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...
Scattered to numerous showers will develop this evening over
Southeast Texas and Southern Louisiana, and quickly spread north
across much of East Texas, North Louisiana, and possibly extreme
Southern Arkansas overnight. However, no hazardous weather is
expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday...
Showers will be widespread across all of the region Tuesday, north
of a warm front that will slowly lift north into the Lower Toledo
Bend Country northeast into Northcentral Louisiana and Southeast
Arkansas Tuesday night. As this front approaches these areas
Tuesday night, scattered thunderstorms will be possible near and
south of the front over Northcentral Louisiana, with the
environment favorable for the potential for isolated strong to
severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and large hail.
While the showers and thunderstorms will diminish from west to
east Wednesday morning with the passage of a cold front,
additional scattered to numerous showers will increase once again
over much of the region Thursday and Friday, north of another warm
front that will lift north through much of the area Friday and
Saturday. A strong upper level disturbance will eject northeast
across the Southern Plains Saturday, and will focus scattered
showers and thunderstorms areawide. Given the warm and unstable
air mass expected to be in place, some of these storms Saturday
may become severe. In addition, widespread two to in excess of four
inches of rain is expected over much of the region this week,
which may result in minor flooding of low lying, poor drainage
areas, given that grounds remain nearly saturated in wake of
above normal rainfall that has fallen over the last several
months.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Activation of emergency management personnel...amateur radio
operators...and storm spotters will not be needed through tonight.
