SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Southeast Oklahoma into Northwest Arkansas.
ONSET...This Afternoon.

DISCUSSION...
Widely scattered thunderstorms across southeast Oklahoma into

Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SATURDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorm chances will persist into Friday and Friday night, 
with a decreasing trend from west to east as the upper level storm
system shifts east of the area. The stronger storms Friday could
produce marginally severe hail and wind, especially across 
southeast Oklahoma into west-central Arkansas.

Above normal temperatures and dry weather will persist for the 
weekend. Both Sunday night and Monday night, the southern end of 
expected thunderstorm complexes to the north of the Kansas and 
Missouri borders may affect parts of northeast Oklahoma and 
northwest Arkansas as well. A cold front Tuesday should increase 
the shower and thunderstorm chances areawide. Severe weather is
looking more likely with the Tuesday storms, although details are
uncertain at this time.
