The Weekend Weather Outlook

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop by this afternoon
across southeast Oklahoma and west central Arkansas along a cold
front that will move into the area and stall in the vicinity of
the red river. The strongest storms will pose an isolated hail
and wind threat late this afternoon and evening.



The front will begin to move back north on Sunday, and additional
storms are possible. The boundary will surge back south again
Monday and will be the focus for daily thunderstorm chances
through much of next week. An uptick in severe weather and heavy
rain potential is likely Tuesday into Wednesday as a stronger
storm system moves across the region. Repeated rounds of heavy
rainfall by mid week will also raise flooding concerns. Forecast
rainfall amounts at this time suggests the potential for both
flash flooding and main stem river flooding. The heavier rain
amounts should begin to push southeast Of the area by late
Thursday or early Friday.
