This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

WINTER WEATHER.
WIND CHILL.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas.
ONSET...Ongoing...ending by midday.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas.
ONSET...This Afternoon.

DISCUSSION...

Wind chills this morning are in the single digits across much of
the region, and near zero across far northwest Arkansas. Temps
will rise quickly after sunrise and this threat will wane by
midday.

Gusty southwest winds and low humidity will combine with favorable
fuel conditions to yield limited fire spread potential across the
region this afternoon.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.
MONDAY through SATURDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

Quiet weather is expected to persist through the week. Another
front will push through early Monday, bringing breezy northerly
winds and at least limited fire weather concerns. Winds turn
around to the south and southwest Tuesday and will be gusty,
maintaining some fire weather threat.

There are hints in the data for the potential of impactful wintry
weather at some point next weekend. Uncertainty still remains
high. Details will become more clear as we get closer.
