This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.
Weather hazards expected...
Limited excessive cold risk.
Limited ice accumulation risk.
Elevated fire weather risk.
DISCUSSION...
Single digit wind chill values will continue through 10 AM this

Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible across portions
of the area today as a dry air mass and southerly wind gusts
occur.
There is a low 15 to 30 percent chance for light rain or drizzle
in the eastern Ozarks late tonight. If temperatures stay below
freezing, some meager ice accumulation is possible on elevated
surfaces.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
There will be the potential for some snow across portions of the
area Friday into the weekend. There is however a lot of
uncertainty on the track of this system and exact amounts if any
across the area.
Wind chill values below zero are possible this weekend behind the
system as a much colder air mass moves over the region.

...IMPACTFUL WINTRY WEATHER AND DANGEROUS COLD LIKELY FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY...
This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.
FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...Limited.
AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and far Northwest Arkansas.
ONSET...This Afternoon.
DISCUSSION...
South winds will increase this afternoon across northeast Oklahoma
and far northwest Arkansas, with gusts in the 25 to 30 mph range.
The gusty winds and low humidity will combine with favorable fuel
conditions to yield limited fire spread potential this afternoon.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY...No Hazards.
FRIDAY...Winter Weather...High Wind...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential.
SATURDAY...Winter Weather...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential.
SUNDAY and MONDAY...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A more unsettled weather pattern is expected to set in by late
this week. Increasing moisture from an approaching upper system
will combine with cold Arctic air moving into the region to set
the stage for an impactful winter weather event. The event is
expected to begin Friday and end on Sunday. While it`s still too
early to focus on specifics, the latest data suggests that snow
will be the most likely precipitation type along and north of
I-40, with more of a wintry mix south of I-40. There is a high
chance that travel will be impacted by this storm across the
entire region. There is a medium chance that hazardous driving
conditions may force road closures across portions of eastern
Oklahoma and western Arkansas. There is a very low chance that ice
accumulation from the storm may cause power outages across far
southeast Oklahoma.
Wind chills are forecast to drop to dangerous levels between 10
below and zero across northeast Oklahoma Friday night into
Saturday. Wind chills between zero and 5 below are expected across
much of eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas Saturday night into
Sunday morning in association with the Arctic airmass that will
be in place.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Begin preparations for potential widespread winter impacts from
Friday afternoon through the weekend, including accumulating snow
and ice across the area. Along with the winter precip chances,
confidence is high in bitterly cold temperatures and wind chill
values below zero at times. Warming stations will likely be needed
through the weekend.
