Check out the two "flags", side by side, in NE OK and NW AR. These are representative of 50 kt. winds at roughly 5000'; otherwise known as a Low Level Jet. As we loose heating the wind-field at low levels ramps up and this often "fuels" thunderstorm activity. In fact, as noted in radar imagery, we're seeing an intense line push into NW AR now. These storms could easily be packing wind gusts well in excess of 60 mph. This line looks to push through Washington, Benton, Carroll and Madison counties over the next two hours.
