The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 10, 2:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 2:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 250 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION WENT QUITE EARLY IN WEST TEXAS AND NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA WITH ARRIVAL OF FORCING FROM UPPER WAVE MOVING OUT OF NEW MEXICO. ELEVATED COMPLEX OF STORMS OVER THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTH AND NORTHEAST AND COVERAGE IS INCREASING ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND NEW DEVELOPMENT OVER WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THIS EARLY CONVECTION IS REDUCING THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON IN NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... BUT THERE IS STILL SOME FILTERED SUN ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST SECTIONS WHERE CAPE VALUES ARE CLIMBING TO AROUND 3000 J/KG. EXPECT CONVECTION FROM THE PANHANDLE INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA TO EXPAND WITH POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. WILL PUT IN HIGH POPS TONIGHT /ESPECIALLY WEST/ BUT WILL MAKE WATCH TRENDS TO DETERMINE SPECIFIC ORIENTATION AND POPS. AGAIN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE QUITE DEPENDENT ON MESOSCALE AND CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION AND PLACEMENT OF CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES. ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE... THE BEST WAVE AFTER TONIGHT LOOKS TO AFFECT THE AREA ON SUNDAY... ALTHOUGH THE MODELS DIFFER ON HOW THIS WAVE WILL COME OUT INTO THE PLAINS AND THE EFFECTS ON THE SURFACE FEATURE LOCATIONS. GFS KEEPS STRONGER UPPER LOW FARTHER NORTHWEST AND HAS THE SURFACE LOW NEAR THE WESTERN KANSAS BORDER. ETA BRINGS MORE ENERGY INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND PLACES THE SURFACE LOW NEAR HOLLIS. BUT EVEN WITH THE GFS SOLUTION THERE IS A DECENT SHORTWAVE THAT MOVES INTO THE AREA SO THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD BET EITHER WAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
