MONDAY AND TUESDAY...No Hazards. WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential. THURSDAY...High Wind Potential. FRIDAY...Thunderstorm...Very High Fire Weather...High Wind Potential. SATURDAY...High Wind Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... After a quiet start to the work week with limited fire weather concerns due to the warm and dry weather, the latter half of the week will feature two fast-moving storm systems across the Plains. The first system on Wednesday will bring at least isolated strong to severe storm potential to far eastern Oklahoma into far western Arkansas. The second and more potent system on Friday is expected to bring both severe thunderstorm and fire weather concerns to the region. Locations near and east of the Oklahoma and Arkansas state line are currently most favored for severe weather Friday afternoon and evening, with areas along and west of Highway 75 having potential for near critical to locally critical fire weather conditions. Continue to monitor the latest expectations this week, as confidence continues to grow in the overall timing and track of the storm system. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
