What forecasters said that day

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 Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 1, 8:38 PM CDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 8:38 PM CDT, 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
838 PM CDT FRI JUN 1 2007

.UPDATE...
NEW CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED IN THE PAST HOUR IN SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA JUST TO THE EAST OF THE 25 KNOT 850 JET AND WITHIN
STRONGLY DIFFLUENT 200 MB FLOW AS SEEN IN PROFILERS AND VAD
WIND PLOTS. THE EARLIER STORMS OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAVE PEAKED.  HOWEVER THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE ROBUST ALONG THE BOUNDARY IN
SOUTHERN KANSAS AND INTO NORTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AS THE
BOUNDARY THERE PROVIDES A BETTER FOCUS FOR LIFT.

THE STORMS IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA ARE MOVING NORTHEAST AND SHOULD
CONTINUE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.  BEYOND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
HIGH-LEVEL OUTFLOW FROM THE MCS DIVING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS COULD
FORCE SOME DOWNWARD MOTION OVER THESE CELLS AND LIMIT THEM.  SO
THEIR LONG-TERM FUTURE IS NOT CLEAR.

CONCERN REMAINS THAT THE STORMS TO THE NORTH WILL DEVELOP A
CONSOLIDATED COLD POOL AND BEGIN TO PUSH SOUTHEAST.  THE
NEGATIVE FOR THIS IS THAT MUCH OF THE AREA IMMEDIATELY AHEAD
OF THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WORKED OVER AND THESE STORMS MAY
NOT BECOME TOO ORGANIZED.

WE HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO REFLECT LIKELY RAIN CHANCES
NORTHWEST TO CHANCES IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST SECTIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

GIVEN THE COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT...CONFIDENCE IS NOT REAL HIGH
AND WE MAY NEED ANOTHER UPDATE LATE THIS EVENING AFTER WATCHING
MORE DATA COME IN.
