Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Lamont, OK (KLMN), launched 00:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 137 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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.

Area forecast discussion, May 26, 3:00 AM CDT, 2 hours 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
300 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008

.DISCUSSION...

ONCE AGAIN...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS MOVE INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
EARLY THIS MORNING. ANTICIPATE A DECREASE IN ACTIVITY AS THE LINE MOVES
INTO ARKANSAS DUE TO LESS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. WILL LEAVE LOW CHANCE
POPS IN FOR THIS MORNING...THOUGH MAY MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
FIRST PERIOD AFTER A LAST LOOK AT RADAR.

LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND MCV FROM THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX COULD
BRING ABOUT THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...BUT EXPECT THIS TO
OCCUR PRIMARILY NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY
CAPPED ENVIRONMENT REMAINS OVER THE REGION...WITH SEVERE WEATHER ONCE
AGAIN POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP DURING THE HEAT OF THE
DAY. DO NOT BELIEVE CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS WILL LAST FOR VERY
LONG TODAY...SO SHOULD SEE A VERY WARM MEMORIAL DAY ACROSS THE
AREA AND STAYED WITH THE WARMER MAV NUMBERS.

COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH KANSAS TODAY. SURFACE
LOW EXPECTED OVER THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE WITH A DRY LINE EXTENDING SOUTH
INTO WEST TEXAS. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BECOME CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL LIKELY DEVELOP INTO ANOTHER EASTWARD MOVING
MCS DURING THE NIGHT AS THE LLJ INCREASES. WHILE ALL MODES OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA...EXPECT A DECREASE
IN SEVERE POTENTIAL AS THE MCS MOVES INTO THE FA OVERNIGHT. WITH THAT
SAID...COULD STILL SEE A FEW STORMS REACHING THE FA CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
THE MCS MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE FA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. WHILE MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE THE FRONT SOUTH OF
THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY...00Z GFS IS A LITTLE SLOWER. WILL THEREFORE LEAVE
IN SOME LOW POPS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR CONVECTION NEAR THE
FRONT AND ANY POST FRONTAL PRECIP. SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES...MAINLY HAIL
AND WIND...WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE COLD FRONT...WITH THE BEST CHANCES
OCCURRING TUESDAY AFTERNOON DURING PEAK HEATING.

MUCH COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AND CLOUDY SKIES WILL BRING TEMPERATURES
BACK TO NEAR NORMAL FOR LATE MAY ON WED/WED NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH QUICKLY
SHIFTS INTO THE MIDWEST...BRINGING RETURN FLOW INTO THE FA BY THURSDAY.
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE AND INCREASING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD KEEP
THE AREA DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MIDWEST DURING THE WEEKEND. NEARLY ZONAL
UPPER FLOW WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE FRONT TO MAKE MUCH SOUTHERLY
PROGRESS THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS. 00Z GFS BRINGS THE FRONT JUST
INTO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FA...WHILE THE 00Z ECMWF/CANADIAN TAKE
THE FRONT A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH. WILL GO AHEAD AND LEAVE IN LOW CHANCE
POPS FOR THE WEEKEND DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY.

UPPER RIDGING BUILDS BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
12Z ECMWF MUCH STRONGER WITH THE HIGH AND THICKNESS VALUES COMPARED
TO THE GFS...THOUGH NEW 00Z ECMWF LOOKS LESS AMPLIFIED AND A LITTLE
MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS. HAVE GONE NEAR OR A LITTLE WARMER THAN
MEX GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...THIS AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. WHILE AN ISOLATED MARGINALLY SEVERE STORM
WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING...THE OVERALL TREND WILL BE
FOR THE CURRENT ACTIVITY TO LESSEN IN INTENSITY AS THE MORNING
WEARS ON.

AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE ONGOING STORMS WILL STALL NEAR OR
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 THIS MORNING. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIFT NORTH
AND BECOME MORE DIFFUSE LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON ONCE
STRONG SURFACE HEATING COMMENCES. IF THIS BOUNDARY REMAINS INTACT
INTO THE AFTERNOON...IT MAY BECOME A FOCUS FOR INTENSE CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT AT THAT TIME.

THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO
OCCUR WELL TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHWEST IN KANSAS BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON NEAR A STALLED OUT SURFACE BOUNDARY. MORE ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP SOUTH ALONG A DRYLINE INTO WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO A MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THIS EVENING AND ADVANCE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT. DAMAGING
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THESE STORMS
WITH ISOLATED LARGE HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON OR MORE LIKELY TONIGHT.

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

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY RESULTING IN GREATER COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF
WHICH MAY BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ANOTHER
WEAKER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND
BRINGING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THAT TIME.
