FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK…LIMITED…SPREADINDEX=30.
AREA…EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE OVER THE AREA TODAY.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY…NO HAZARDS.
WEDNESDAY…WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL…HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION…
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO WILL MOVE EAST AND BEGIN TO AFFECT OUR WEATHER BY TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT…
AND FORECAST TEMPERATURE PROFILES SUGGEST SOME POSSIBILITY OF RAIN
MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SNOW WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER
LOW MOVES CLOSE TO THE AREA. THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS WILL DEPEND ON
THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SYSTEM…AND FORECASTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
REFINED. AT THIS TIME IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
WILL OCCUR. DRY AND COLDER WEATHER WILL PREVAIL LATE IN THE WEEK.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT…
CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS REGARDING WINTER WEATHER
POTENTIAL LATER THIS WEEK.
