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 Mar 2, 8:42 PM CST, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 8:42 PM CST, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
842 PM CST SUN MAR 2 2008

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
ELEVATED STORMS CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA
IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT AND SQUALL LINE MOVING INTO
THE AREA FROM THE WEST.

WIND PROFILES HAVE CONTINUED TO BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR
STORM ROTATION ACROSS ALL THE AREA AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE
OF STORMS.

SURFACE-BASED CAPE HAD INCREASED IN THE PAST HOUR IN EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS WITH VALUES NOW BETWEEN
500 AND 1000 J/KG SOUTH OF AN OZARK TO TULSA LINE.  INSTABILITY
SHOULD GRADUALLY EXPAND TO COVER MUCH OF THE AREA AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER
WITH ANY STORMS IN THE AREA.  THE CAP INDEX IS HIGH IN MUCH
OF THE AREA SUGGESTING MOST OF THE STORMS WILL STAY ELEVATED.
HOWEVER POCKETS OF WEAKER CAP ARE NOTED FROM THE ARKANSAS
RIVER VALLEY IN EXTREME EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS
SOUTHWEST TO THE RED RIVER.  THIS WOULD OFFER THE POSSIBILITY
OF A CELL IN THESE AREAS TO BECOME MORE SUFACE BASED.  IF THAT
WERE TO OCCUR THEN THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASED TORNADO THREAT.

LOW-LEVEL SHEAR HAS BECOME VERY HIGH IN MUCH OF THE AREA WITH
0 TO 1 KM VALUES AROUND 40 KNOTS.  THIS IMPLIES THAT BRIEF
LOW-LEVEL ROTATION COULD OCCUR WITH ANY STORM.
