much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

THUNDERSTORMS WITH DANGEROUS LIGHTNING.
RISK...Elevated.
AREA...Far Northeast Oklahoma.
    ONSET...Ongoing.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
The dangerous heat will persist on Thursday with heat indices
again in the 105 to 110 degree range in many areas. A few strong
to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop Thursday evening
across portions of northeast Oklahoma, with marginally severe
hail and locally damaging winds the main concerns. Additional
storms are expected Thursday night into early Friday morning, as
a cold front sweeps through the remainder of southeast Oklahoma
and west central Arkansas Thursday night.

Decreased heat and humidity are expected behind the cold front on
Friday. At least low thunderstorm chances will exist through the
weekend as a series of upper level disturbances move out of the
Central Plains. There is some potential for a thunderstorm
complex to impact portions of the area Sunday night. Timing and
details will continue to be refined in the coming days.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Heat related illness will remain possible Thursday. Additionally,
thunderstorms will likely impact some outdoor Fourth of July
activities across portions of northeast Oklahoma and far northwest
Arkansas.
