Thunderstorms are expected spread into eastern Oklahoma Monday afternoon and expand in coverage through Monday evening. Storms will move east through the overnight hours, likely impacting all of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Some storms may be severe and produce damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.

Franklin County is now in the SLIGHT RISK area. Storms are expected late tonight, likely after midnight. All hazards will be possible. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive a warning.

In an emergency at a rail crossing, look for the the Blue and White sign.️ It lists a phone number and a crossing ID number so you can report an emergency. No sign? Dial 911.

Gusty south winds develop for much of the day Monday, ahead of an approaching cold front. Widespread gusts of 30-40 mph are expected, locally higher in the high terrain.

Although it rained Saturday, total amounts were light. Please hold off on any burn plans on Monday as these winds could potentially lead to fires difficult to control, despite recent rains and increased humidity.

11/01/2026

Thunderstorms are expected spread into eastern Oklahoma Monday afternoon and expand in coverage through Monday evening. Storms will move east through the overnight hours. Some storms may become strong to severe and produce damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.

At present, the primary risk area for tornadoes is across central and eastern Oklahoma. However, it is certainly not zero for western Arkansas.

11/01/2026

A storm system will bring very good chances of rain to much of state. In fact there are very good chances of seeing amounts in excess of an inch from this system and even some decent odds some of could see over 2 inches.
