Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

After a devastating severe weather day in the Plains on Monday, severe weather is expected to fire up again across the nation's mid-section again on Tuesday.

The nearly stationary low over the Northern Plains will gradually weaken as it shifts eastward into the Midwest on Tuesday, while the system's associated cold front trails southwestward from the low across the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the Southern Plains. Favorable energy and conditions ahead of the cold front combined with the moisture laden conditions of the nation's mid-section will set the stage for multiple clusters of thunderstorms to develop from the Midwest into the Ozarks and the Southern Plains. Portions of northeastern Texas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma, central and southern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana are at moderate risk of severe thunderstorm activity as environmental conditions remain favorable for tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and very large hail. Areas surrounding this moderate risk region from the parts of central and eastern Texas into the Upper Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development with hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and widely scattered showers will continue near the low in the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and near and to the north of a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending out ahead of the system from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. Continued precipitation in already saturated areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will maintain flood concerns from parts of North Dakota into northern Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern corner of the nation.

Areal Flood Advisory, Flash Flood Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:11 AM CDT on May 21, 2013

The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued an

* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for...
Pittsburg County in southeast Oklahoma...

* until 415 am CDT

* at 207 am CDT... Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms with very
heavy rain over Pittsburgh County. The heaviest rains have fallen in
the little Wildhorse creek basin.

* Locations that will continue to be affected by heavy rain
include... Krebs... Alderson... Indianola... Bache... Dow...
Haileyville... Hartshorne... Crowder... Canadian... Arrowhead State
Park... Blocker and Featherston.

Excessive runoff from this storm will cause flooding of small creeks
and streams... highways and underpasses. Additionally... country roads
and farmlands along the banks of creeks and streams and other low
lying areas are subject to flooding.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Vehicles caught in rising water should be abandoned quickly.
Move to higher ground.

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through this evening...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Arkansas and Oklahoma... including the following
areas... in Arkansas... Benton... Carroll... Crawford... Franklin...
   Madison... Sebastian and Washington. In Oklahoma... Adair...
Cherokee... Delaware... Haskell... Latimer... Le Flore... Mayes...
McIntosh... Muskogee... Okfuskee... Okmulgee... Ottawa...
Pittsburg... Sequoyah and Wagoner.

* Through this evening

* ongoing showers and thunderstorm activity tonight may increase
in areal coverage overnight across the watch area as eastern
Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas remains in a very moist
atmosphere. Additional showers and thunderstorms will be likely
again on Tuesday as only a modest shift of the moist environment
is expected. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches are
possible south of Interstate 44 through Tuesday as several
rounds of thunderstorms may affect the same areas. Local amounts
of 5 inches are possible... especially Tuesday across southeast
Oklahoma and west central Arkansas where prolonged storm
chances will reside.

* The heavy rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding... and
could also cause rapid rises on creeks and small streams... and
may lead to mainstem river flooding as well.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means rapidly rising water or flooding is
possible within the watch area.

If you are in the watch area... keep informed... and be ready for
quick action if flash flooding is observed or if a warning is
issued.
