A large area of high pressure continues to dominate the east coast. Winds around this high are ushering in southerly winds straight off the gulf of Mexico right into our area. Over the last couple of days we've seen southerly winds pumping dewpoints back in the 60's throughout eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

This type of airmass is more reminiscent of spring, and it could fuel showers and storms Tuesday afternoon and evening. A cold front will provide the lift for the showers and storms. The severe threat should remain low. Limited wind shear and warmer temperatures aloft will suppress large hail; however, sunshine is present, look for the chance for small hail and gusty winds with the stronger storms.
