Hazardous Weather Outlook

Excessive Rainfall Potential This Week

Cooler/Wetter Weather Starts Monday

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected this week across eastern Oklahoma and northwest and west central Arkansas, including the potential for periods of locally heavy rainfall, which will increase the risk of flooding. At this time, the greatest risk of heavy rainfall and potential flooding looks to be Monday through Monday night, and again Thursday into Friday. Continue to monitor forecasts this week, especially if you live in a flood prone area.

Seasonably hot weather will continue Sunday across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas, with afternoon heat indices ranging from 85 to near 100 degrees across the area. A major change in the weather pattern will result in much cooler temperatures beginning Monday and continuing into next weekend, as well as a period of unsettled weather, with moderate to high chances of showers and thunderstorms most days this week.
