The greatest potential will be from far eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas. All hazards will be possible, with large hail and damaging winds the main threats.

Strong southwesterly winds behind a dry-line on Friday will increase fire weather concerns across parts of the area. Warm/dry air will funnel into parts of northeastern Oklahoma where min RH values will drop to near or below 20 percent Friday afternoon.
