A few isolated rain showers may develop across southeast Oklahoma

and western Arkansas during the day as an elevated frontal

boundary remains in the region. Shower and thunderstorm chances

return this evening and increase overnight tonight with a

disturbance lifting into the region. The greater potential for

thunder is forecast along and south of Interstate 40 this evening

into tonight. Severe weather is not expected as the greater

Rain showers with chances for thunderstorms continue Saturday and

then taper off Saturday night from northwest to southeast as a 

weak area of low pressure moves through the region. Again, 

thunderstorm potentials should remain mainly along and south of 

Interstate 40. Locally heavy rainfall is possible in far southeast

Oklahoma. Additional shower and thunderstorm chances return late 

Monday night into Tuesday night with another cold front forecast 

to move through Tuesday evening and night. Unsettled weather then

remains forecast through the second half of next week.
