DISCUSSION...



Some early morning storm activity over northwest Arkansas is

expected to end by mid morning. Severe weather is not expected

with this activity.



Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along

or near a frontal boundary across northwest into west-central

Arkansas by mid to late afternoon. These storms will be capable of

producing all modes of severe weather, including large hail,

locally damaging wind and tornadoes. The main limitation will be

the limited time they spend in the region, as the storms are

expected to mature as they move quickly eastward toward central 

Arkansas.



Additional storms are expected to form near extreme southeast

Oklahoma by late afternoon as well. These storms will be capable

of producing severe weather, but will most likely be east of the

forecast area when they do.



There is a low chance of storms tonight across southeast Oklahoma

into west-central Arkansas, on the cool side of the front. There

is a limited large hail threat over extreme southeast Oklahoma

near the Red River.



A low pressure system and cold front in the region today will be

strong winds/gusts. Gusts to around 35 mph are possible across

northeast Oklahoma behind a cold front this afternoon.



SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...

Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

WEDNESDAY through FRIDAY...No Hazards.

SATURDAY...Thunderstorm...High Wind Potential. 

SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. 

MONDAY...No Hazards.



EXTENDED DISCUSSION...



After a period of quiet weather from Wednesday through Friday, 

additional thunderstorm chances return by the weekend with another

disturbance moving into the Plains.
