What forecasters said that day

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

Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 5:59 AM CDT, 3 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
559 AM CDT THU APR 24 2008

.DISCUSSION...
HAVE ISSUED A QUICK UPDATE TO POP FORECAST AS SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEAR WARM FRONT LIFTING
ACROSS THE AREA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE LATE THIS MORNING
WITH AFTERNOON CHANCES LIMITED BY STRONG CAP.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 AM CDT THU APR 24 2008/

DISCUSSION...
STORM COMPLEX THAT BROUGHT LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN TO PARTS OF THE
AREA CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND SHOULD CLEAR NORTHEASTERN
SECTIONS SHORTLY AFTER FORECAST ISSUANCE TIME. RAINFALL AT TUL
OVERNIGHT OFFICIALLY MAKES THIS THE WETTEST APRIL ON RECORD WITH
CURRENT MONTHLY TOTAL 9.33 INCHES. INCIDENTALLY...THIS IS THE 4TH
MONTH IN THE LAST 12 THAT TULSA HAS RECEIVED 9 INCHES OF RAIN OR
MORE. WILL BE ABLE TO DROP MUCH OF THE EXISTING FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WITH EXCEPTION OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND A FEW COUNTIES IN EXTREME
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. FINAL POPS WILL BE DONE JUST PRIOR TO 4 AM.

MOIST AIRMASS AND A FEW RESIDUAL SFC BOUNDARIES PRESENT THIS
AFTERNOON COULD SPARK SOME REDEVELOPMENT...IT APPEARS THAT A
STRENGTHENING CAP SHOULD PRECLUDE MUCH IN THE WAY OF THUNDERSTORMS
ONCE CURRENT ACTIVITY WINDS DOWN. WILL LIKELY SEE ENOUGH BREAKS TO
SEE VERY WARM TEMPS OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MID TO UPPER 80S WEST OF TULSA.

CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT ALSO LOOKS VERY LIMITED IN THE
CAPPED WARM SECTOR. VERY LITTLE SIGNAL FOR MORE THAN ISOLATED
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE DRY LINE IN WESTERN/CENTRAL OK THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVEN IF STORMS DEVELOP OUT THERE...THE ODDS OF THEM
MOVING INTO EASTERN OK ARE VERY SLIM. SW LOW LEVEL JET OVER THE
AREA WILL KEEP AIR WELL MIXED AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
AND WILL LIKELY SEE BREEZY SOUTH WINDS AND VERY MILD OVERNIGHT
LOWS. FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ENTER NW PORTIONS AROUND 12Z OR EVEN
SLIGHTLY LATER AND PUSH THROUGH NE OK DURING THE MORNING.

MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS NW ARKANSAS
THROUGH SE OKLAHOMA WILL LEAD TO A CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH POSSIBLE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. GIVEN THE CURRENT
RAINFALL SITUATION ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCH COULD BE NECESSARY
ALTHOUGH PROGRESSIVE NATURE IF THESE STORMS SHOULD OFFSET HEAVY
RAIN POTENTIAL A LITTLE BIT. ACTIVITY SHOULD COME TO AN END
FRIDAY EVENING WITH COOLER TEMPS AND DRY CONDITIONS INTO SATURDAY.

NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES SAT NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY FROM THE NW...WITH
MODELS INDICATING POSSIBLE MCS AFFECTING AREAS MAINLY TO OUR
SOUTHWEST. FOR NOW HAVE GONE WITH A BROAD HIGH CHANCE OF RAIN IN
BOTH PERIODS THOUGH HIGHER CHANCES MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING ON HOW
A POSSIBLE MCS DEVELOPS. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE MUCH COOLER THAN
NORMAL AND WITH CLEARING CONDITIONS...TEMPS COULD EASILY REACH THE
MID 30S BY MONDAY MORNING OVER NW ARK AND FAR NE OK.

REST OF THE PERIOD WILL SEE A QUICK WARM UP WITH SW UPPER FLOW
REDEVELOPING. POTENTIALLY POTENT UPPER LOW COULD IMPACT THE REGION
BY THE END OF THE WEEK...JUST IN TIME TO KICK OFF MAY.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.

	ONSET...ONGOING.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED EAST OF THE AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING ALTHOUGH A FEW ISOLATED STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA NEAR A NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT. THESE STORMS
WILL POSE A MINIMAL HAIL THREAT THIS MORNING UNTIL THE WARM FRONT
MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA. THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE BUT THE CAP WILL BE
STRENGTHENING OVER THE AREA. THE CAP MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
INHIBIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT BUT IF A STORM CAN DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON IT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.

HEAVY RAINS OVERNIGHT RESULTED IN SOME FLASH FLOODING IN NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. WITH THE RAINS ENDING EARLY THIS
MORNING...WATER WILL BEGIN TO RECEDE.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND WILL POSE
SOME THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS.
