.NOW...

At 11:31 AM...National Weather Service doppler radars continued 
to detect a large area of showers and thunderstorms pushing 
northeast across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas, mainly 
along and east of a line from Copan to Okemah. Moderate to heavy 
rainfall had been observed from this activity, as well as some 
small hail and gusty winds. All this activity was moving toward 
the northeast around 40 miles per hour.

Through 1:00 PM...Showers and thunderstorms will continue to 
spread northeast across the forecast area. Some of the storms 
could become strong enough to produce hail and strong winds, 
along with heavy rainfall. There is also the possibility of an 
isolated tornado, mainly across southeast Oklahoma. The heavy 
rainfall will likely worsen the present flooding issues across 
the area. Do not attempt drive vehicles into flooded areas or 
roadways.
