Yes, More Rain!

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to spread back into
Southeast Oklahoma this morning and push across Eastern Oklahoma
and Northwest Arkansas through this afternoon ahead of a cold
front forecast to move through this afternoon and evening.
Instability over the region could allow for a slight risk of
severe weather potential across mainly Southeast Oklahoma and
Northwest Arkansas from the mid morning hours through this
afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds look to be the main
threats...though an isolated tornado potential could also be
possible over far Southeast Oklahoma into West Central Arkansas.
Precipitation chances are forecast to taper off from west to east
this afternoon and look to exit Northwest Arkansas by early
evening.

Also ahead of the front...additional periods of heavy rainfall
over parts of Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas on top of
recent rains will continue to increase flash flooding as well as
river flooding concerns. A flood watch remains in effect through
this afternoon over much of the region.



Recent rains combined with forecast additional rainfall amounts
could continue flooding concerns after the rains end Saturday.
Drier conditions are forecast Sunday into the first part of next
week before thunderstorm chances return mid week as another low
pressure system looks to approach the region.
