Get Ready for a Soggy Week

NWS-Tulsa

Thunderstorm chances become possible again this afternoon and
continue overnight tonight across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest
Arkansas. Like yesterday, the greater chances are expected to be
this afternoon into the evening hours with much of the convection
weakening with the loss of daytime heating. Daytime heating
combined with instability interacting with a weak surface frontal
boundary could allow for some storms to become to strong to severe
with strong winds of 50 to 60 mph. The greater severe potential
looks to be across parts of Northeast and East Central Oklahoma as
well as parts of Northwest Arkansas.


Thunderstorm chances increase Sunday through the first half of
next week across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas as a
broad area of low pressure slowly pushes through the region.
Multiple rounds of precipitation along with the potential for
locally heavy rainfall will be possible through this time period.
Additional thunderstorm chances remain possible through the end
of the work week as the low pressure exits and a second upper
level disturbance looks to push through the Plains in its wake.
