will persist today ahead of an approaching upper level storm system
and cold front. Scattered thunderstorms will likely develop along
the front across portions of northeast Oklahoma by mid to late
afternoon and across the remainder of eastern Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas this evening. Conditions will be favorable for severe
storms with large hail, locally damaging winds, and a few tornadoes
possible.

limited threat for severe weather. Strong winds can be expected
ahead of and behind the system.
