The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
Haskell County in southeast Oklahoma...
northern Latimer County in southeast Oklahoma...
northern Le Flore County in southeast Oklahoma...
Pittsburg County in southeast Oklahoma...
Sequoyah County in east central Oklahoma...
southeastern Muskogee County in east central Oklahoma...
southern McIntosh County in southeast Oklahoma...

* until 1230 PM CDT

* at 643 am CDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
thunderstorms with very heavy rain over the warned area. 2 inches
of rainfall has already occurred with an additional 1 to 2 inches
possible.

* Runoff from this excessive rainfall will cause flash flooding to
occur. Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Eufaula... McAlester... Poteau... Sallisaw... Stigler... Wilburton...
Alderson... Arrowhead State Park... Ashland... Blocker... Bokoshe...
Briartown... Cameron... Canadian... Crowder... Enterprise... Gans...

McAlester Regional Airport... McCurtain... Muldrow... Panama... Pocola
and Porum.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where water covers the Road to
unknown depths. It only takes two feet of rushing water to carry away
most sport utility vehicles and pickups. Take a different Route to
reach your destination or wait until the water recedes. Remember...
most flood related deaths occur in automobiles.

Flash Flood Watch

Statement as of 5:09 AM CDT on May 21, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 21, 2013


... 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

* shower and thunderstorm activity will increase again today
as a slow moving cool front boundary interacts with a near
tropical airmass over eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.

Rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches are possible southeast of
Interstate 44 today as thunderstorms move across the same
areas. Local amounts of 5 inches are possible... especially
across southeast Oklahoma and west central Arkansas where
prolonged storm chances will reside.

* The heavy rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding... and
will also cause rapid rises on creeks and small streams... and
could eventually 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.
