Soggy and Cold Weekend

An upper level storm system will move across the southern Plains
today, with an expansive area of widespread rain and
thunderstorms. The main concern today will be from sustained
heavy rains, with 1 to 3 inch amounts likely for some locations.
This may cause localized flooding for low lying areas through
tonight. The better severe weather threat will remain well
southeast of the area. However, a few stronger storms are possible
across southeast Oklahoma. The main hazard with these storms is
small hail up to penny sized. As the upper low moves across
northwest Arkansas tonight, rain may mix briefly with snow by
early Sunday morning. No accumulations are expected.

Rain will clear out of the area by Sunday afternoon with
temperatures back in the mid to upper 70s by Monday. It will
remain windy through the first part of the week. The next storm
system will approach by Wednesday with a chance for showers and
storms, some of which could be severe given forecast wind and
instability fields.
