What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 16, 4:22 AM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 16, 4:22 AM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
422 AM CDT TUE AUG 16 2005

.DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AND ARE SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF MY
TEXAS AREA AND INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA. KFDR ESTIMATED SOME VERY
HEAVY RAIN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BAYLOR. THINK KFDR RAINFALL
ESTIMATES MAY BE A TOUCH HIGH... BUT THE RAINFALL HAS BEEN QUITE
HEAVY EVEN IF KFDR IS OVERESTIMATING. THE HEAVY RAIN IS NOT QUITE
WITH THE KTLX COVERAGE AREA... BUT A REMINDER THAT WE SWITCHED
KTLX TO A TROPICAL Z/R RELATIONSHIP A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND
PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES FROM KTLX HAVE BEEN IN THE BALLPARK THE
LAST COUPLE OF MORNINGS.

PUT UP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE COVERAGE AREA
IS GENERALLY THE AREAS THAT HAVE HAD OVER 2 INCHES OF RAIN OVER
THE LAST FEW DAYS. GIVEN THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS... AM NOT
QUITE AS CONFIDENT IN HEAVY RAIN OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST PART OF
THE AREA... BUT HEAVY RAIN IS ALMOST A GIVEN IN PORTIONS OF NORTH
TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING.

OTHERWISE MAIN CHANGES TO THE FORECAST ARE TO KEEP SOMEWHAT HIGHER
POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR TONIGHT... AND AM A BIT LESS AGGRESSIVE
WITH THE WARMING TREND THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF THE SATURATED GROUND
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FROM THIS RAIN EVENT.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1152 AM CDT MON AUG 15 2005

OKZ004>048-050>052-TXZ083>090-161200-

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS NORTHERN...WESTERN...
CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...
ONGOING RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHERN TEXAS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT OVER EAST CENTRAL INTO SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR RAIN AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT TODAY. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION OVER THE
AREA WILL PRECLUDE STRONG SURFACE HEATING TODAY AND THEREBY LIMIT
THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN DEVELOP. THE PRESENCE OF ONLY
MODEST AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY... ALONG WITH RELATIVELY WEAK VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR... WILL MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH TONIGHT.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT TUESDAY AUG 16.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...40 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...10 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON TUESDAY...
TAPERING OFF TO ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL BE A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BY THE
WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

THE NEXT SCHEDULED HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK WILL BE ISSUED AT 7 AM
TUESDAY.
