AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... Thunderstorms will continue to develop across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas this afternoon with the greater potential along and north of Interstate 40, and then spread over eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas into tonight. Storm development at the onset is expected to be more discrete, and then develop into broken lines and a complex during the evening into the overnight hours. An unstable and strongly sheared atmosphere interacting with the storms will increase severe probabilities through the evening hours before beginning to weaken overnight tonight. Storms capable of large to very large hail, damaging winds and also a tornado threat exist into this evening, and then transition to a damaging wind and quick spin-up tornado threat this evening into the early overnight hours. In addition to severe potentials, a heavy rain threat which could increase flood concerns develops this afternoon through tonight across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. FRIDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential. SATURDAY...High Wind Potential. SUNDAY...No Hazards. MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential. TUESDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Some early morning thunderstorms may linger over western Arkansas Thursday morning before moving east. Isolated afternoon storms could develop over portions of far eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas Thursday afternoon. If a storm develops, it would have potential to become severe. More thunderstorms are expected to develop across northern Oklahoma Friday afternoon along a dryline, ahead of an upper storm system and associated surface low pressure and cold front. These storms will have a decent chance of becoming severe in an unstable and strongly sheared environment, and would be capable of producing higher-end severe weather. This includes very large hail, locally damaging wind and tornadoes. Eventually, the cold front will overtake the dryline and will force a band of storms along it, with a damaging wind threat Friday night. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$  750 FLUS41 KBTV 151833 HWOBTV Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Burlington VT 233 PM EDT Wed Apr 15 2026 NYZ029-030-034-035-087-VTZ005-008>011-017>021-161845- Southeastern St. Lawrence-Southern Franklin-Western Essex- Eastern Essex-Southwestern St. Lawrence-Western Chittenden- Washington-Western Addison-Orange-Western Rutland-Eastern Chittenden- Eastern Addison-Eastern Rutland-Western Windsor-Eastern Windsor- 233 PM EDT Wed Apr 15 2026 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northern New York, central Vermont, northwest Vermont and southern Vermont. .DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.
