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.

NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 7, 3:50 AM CDT, 5 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 3:50 AM CDT, 5 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
350 AM CDT WED MAY 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW CURRENTLY CROSSING INTO FAR WEST TEXAS LOOKS TO BE
MAKING ITS TURN NORTHEASTWARD...AND THE LATEST DATA IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND INTO SOUTHERN
MISSOURI BY SUNRISE THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT MCS ACTIVITY ACROSS
SOUTHERN KANSAS HAS PLACED AN ILL DEFINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WHILE THE SYNOPTIC SCALE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
REMAINS FURTHER NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS. FURTHER
WEST...CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BLOSSOM WITHIN STRONGLY DIFFLUENT
FLOW AHEAD OF UPPER LOW. THIS REGION OF STRONG FORCING WILL
INTERACT WITH PLUME OF HIGH MOISTURE TO EXPAND PRECIP ACROSS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TODAY. THE FAVORED REGION OF HIGHEST RAINFALL
AMOUNTS NORTH OF THE UPPER LOW TRACK MAY PLACE THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS
JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...HOWEVER THE PRESENCE OF THE
MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES CASTS ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO WARRANT A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTHERN BORDER COUNTIES.

THE SEVERE POTENTIAL TODAY CONTINUES TO LOOK HIGHEST FOR SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT
MORE INTENSE UPDRAFTS WITH STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG SURGING DRYLINE
THIS AFTERNOON FROM SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA THROUGH CENTRAL TEXAS. THE
LARGELY BACKED WIND PROFILES SUGGEST A LIMITED WINDOW EXISTS FOR
DISCRETE STORMS BEFORE CELLULAR INTERACTIONS YIELD BROKEN LINE
SEGMENTS. HOWEVER THE MAGNITUDE OF BOTH THE SHALLOW AND DEEP
LAYERED SHEAR VECTORS WILL SUPPORT EMBEDDED SUPERCELLULAR
POTENTIAL WITH ALL FORMS OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN WAKE OF THE UPPER LOW WILL MAKE LIMITED
SOUTHWARD PROGRESS ON THURSDAY...WITH MODELS IN BETTER AGREEMENT
ON A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT.
SMALL SCALE MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE UPSLOPE FLOW
ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND TRACK INTO...OR JUST NORTH OF...THE FORECAST
AREA THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

A BRIEF DRY PERIOD BEFORE A STRONGER WAVE DRAWS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY NORTH FRIDAY NIGHT...AND PUSHES IT BACK SOUTHWARD
BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS TIMEFRAME WILL BE THE NEXT SHOT AT SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND CURRENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FORECASTS YIELD
IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL SURGE. HIGH PRESSURE
AND ASSOCIATED DRY WEATHER LOOK TO PREVAIL SUNDAY INTO
TUESDAY...WHEN THE NEXT SYSTEM IN THE ACTIVE PATTERN BEGINS TO
AFFECT THE AREA.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

DISCUSSION...
A POTENT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT WAS MOVING INTO WEST TEXAS
EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA
LATER TODAY.  AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO EASTERN
OKLAHOMA LATE TODAY WITH A DRY LINE TO ITS SOUTH SOUTHEAST. THE
LOW PRESSURE AND DRY LINE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AND EAST OF THE
AREA BY LATE EVENING.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING THIS MORNING ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA.
THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST AND MAY IMPACT EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS MORNING.  ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE DRY LINE AND JUST TO
THE EAST OF THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE THIS AFTERNOON.  DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.  HOWEVER...THE
WIND FIELDS ALOFT WILL BE STRONGLY BACKED AND THIS WOULD SUPPORT THE
FORMATION OF A SQUALL LINE.  IF A SQUALL FORMS...SUPERCELLS MAY
STILL BE EMBEDDED WITHIN IT.  LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE MOST FAVORED AREA FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA OR TO
THE SOUTHEAST OF THE UPPER LOW TRACK.

IN ADDITONAL TO THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK...THERE WILL BE A
RISK OF FLASH FLOODING.  THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR THIS WILL BE
TO THE NORTH OF THE UPPER LOW OR ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION LIKELY NEEDED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH TODAYS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA THE NEXT FEW DAYS KEEPING THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE FORECAST.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT.
