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.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 2:10 PM CST, 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
210 PM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
RECEIVED REPORT OF WIND DAMAGE IN WESTERN BENTON COUNTY THAT
OCCURRED AFTER 1 PM. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A THUNDERSTORM LINE
SEGMENT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...AND NOW LOCATED IN MISSOURI.

AT 2 PM...FRONT EXTENDED FROM NEAR ROGERS AR TO WEST OF FORT SMITH
TO BETWEEN ATOKA AND ANTLERS IN SOUTHEAST OK. AIRMASS REMAINS
QUITE UNSTABLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT STRONG CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE
AXIS OF GREATEST INSTABILITY EXTENDED FROM SEBASTIAN COUNTY TO
CHOCTAW COUNTY.

WINDS AT 5 TO 6 THOUSAND FEET ARE STILL PROVIDING WARM MOIST
ADVECTION NORTHWARD OVER THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS ADVECTION IS
PUSHING UNSTABLE AIR NORTH OF THE FRONT AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CONTINUED CONVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. THE INSTABILITY WILL
PROVIDE A CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
FRONT FOR A FEW MORE HOURS. THE PRIMARY THREAT NORTH AND WEST OF THE
FRONT WILL BE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS. THIS AREA WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY
EASTWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON.

        ONSET...AFTER 6 PM IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AFTER MIDNIGHT IN

DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF A COLD
FRONT... WHICH EXTENDED FROM BENTONVILLE TO SALLISAW TO WILBURTON AT 1 PM.
THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN A FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. A SURFACE LOW ALONG THE FRONT NEAR FORT SMITH WILL
CONTINUE TO SLIDE NORTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...WHILE ANOTHER LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL LIFT
INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THESE LOW TRACKS WILL
BE THE FOCUS FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER...WITH
TORNADOES...WIND...AND SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS AREA.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THIS AREA WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
SURFACE BASED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON DURING THE TIME OF MAXIMUM
HEATING...INCREASING THE TORNADO THREAT.

ADDITIONAL LIFT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE APPROACHING UPPER STORM
SYSTEM. THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT TORNADIC
POTENTIAL REMAINS THE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND
THE STORM MOTION...WHICH WILL BE FAST TO THE NORTHEAST AT OVER 45
MPH.

FURTHER NORTH NEAR THE COLD FRONT...STORMS WILL BE NEARER
A REGION OF COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT...AND THIS WILL FAVOR
A HIGHER RISK OF SEVERE HAIL. THIS SEVERE WEATHER RISK WILL
EXTEND WELL NORTH OF THE COLD FRONT TO NEAR THE INTERSTATE 44
CORRIDOR.

STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EXIT THE TULSA FORECAST AREA BY LATE
AFTERNOON...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SNOW MOVING INTO
THE AREA THIS EVENING. NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE CURRENTLY
EXPECTED AS THE UPPER LEVEL STORM TRACK FAVORS AREAS OF NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...SPOTTER ACTIVATION
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY OVER FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TO BE
ONGOING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
TRANQUIL WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...
WITH POTENTIAL FOR MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
