The radar

The Tulsa radar (KINX), 116 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 14:29 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Lamont, OK (KLMN), launched 12:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 65 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
311 AM CDT TUE JUN 6 2006

.DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN KS EARLY THIS
MORNING FUELED BY A 40 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET. OTHER WIDELY SCATTERED
CONVECTION OCCURRING NEAR GRADIENT OF BEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY.
KS STORM COMPLEX HAS BEGUN TO TAKE A MORE EASTWARD TRACK OVER PAST
COUPLE OF HOURS AS LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO VEER AND INSTABILITY
AXIS SHIFTS A LITTLE FARTHER EAST. SOME DEGREE OF SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO PORTIONS OF NE OKLAHOMA...POSSIBLY INTO
NW ARKANSAS LATER IN THE MORNING BEFORE COMPLEX WEAKENS. FIRST
PERIOD POPS WILL BE ADJUSTED JUST BEFORE ISSUANCE.

AFTER TODAY PRECIP CHANCES DROP OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS UPPER
RIDGE TO THE WEST BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY TO LEVEL OFF TEMPS
SOMEWHAT BEFORE A SUBSTANTIAL WARM UP TAKES PLACE LATE IN THE
WEEK. SOUTH WINDS RETURN DURING THE DAY THURSDAY AND LATEST DATA
SUGGESTS SFC WINDS MAY VEER TO A MORE SWLY DIRECTION LATE IN THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS BEING THE CASE...TEMPS LIKELY TO CLIMB
WELL ABOVE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE AND GIVEN THE FORECAST LOW/MID
LEVEL THERMAL PROFILES...TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY
ACROSS THE WESTERN SECTIONS.

HOT WEATHER SHOULD PERSIST INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. UPPER
RIDGE FLATTENS LATE IN THE PERIOD AND AT LEAST SOME CHANCE OF A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING INTO THE AREA TO BRING CHANCE OF PRECIP
AND COOLER TEMPS...MOST LIKELY BEYOND 7 DAY PERIOD.
