The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
1004 PM CST SUN MAR 2 2008

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
THE ISOLATED SUPERCELLS IN SOUTHEAST OKALAHOMA
ARE TRACKING THROUGH A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER.  SURFACE-BASED CAPE HAS INCREASED
TO AROUND 1000 J/KG ALONG THEIR PATH...WITH ALL SHEAR
PARAMETERS STRONG.

THE CAP HAS WEAKENED ENOUGH THAT THE CELLS
MAY BECOME SURFACE BASED.  THESE CELLS WILL HAVE TO BE
MONITORED CLOSELY FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL.  SR-HELICITY
RANGES FROM 400 TO 600 M2/S2 DEPENDING ON THE INDIVIDUAL
STORM MOTIONS.  HODOGRAPHS SHOW THAT MID-LEVEL
STORM RELATIVE WINDS ARE HIGH AND FURTHER ENHANCING
STORM ORGANIZATION.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT GROUPS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR
THE PROGRSS OF THESE STORMS AS THEY AFFECT PUSHMATAHA...

DISCUSSION...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT.
AHEAD OF IT THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE WITH THE
THREAT FOR WIND AND HAIL.  THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL
FOR A BRIEF TORNADO WITH ANY STORM IN THE AREA GIVEN
THE VERY STRONG AND TURNING LOW-LEVEL WINDS.  THIS
LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE MAXIMIZED IN THE ARKANSAS
RIVER VALLEY IN EXTREME EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL
ARKANSAS.  PERSONS IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS
SHOULD BE READY TO MOVE TO PLACE OF SAFETY AS TORNADOES
IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES CAN DEVELOP SUDDENLY.

WITH THE EXPANDING STORM ACTIVITY...HEAVY RAIN WILL BECOME
WIDESPREAD TONIGHT WITH THE MOST PROLONGED RAINS
EXPECTED FROM SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
RAINFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES IS EXPECTED TO BE COMMON IN THE

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT BRINGING
STORM TOTALS IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS
TO AROUND 5 INCHES IN SOME AREAS.  FLOODING OF MAIN STEM RIVERS
AND FLASH FLOODING WILL OCCUR IN THE AREAS RECEIVING THE HEAVIEST
RAIN.

AS COLD AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND THE MAIN UPPER-LEVEL
SYSTEM APPROACHES...WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP.  THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR A BAND OF HEAVY SNOW TO DEVELOP IN
PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.  BURSTS
OF VERY HEAVY SNOW WITH THUNDER WILL BE POSSIBLE...CAUSING
ACCUMULATIONS DESPITE THE WARM GROUND CONDITIONS.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
ALL EMERGENCY AGENCIES IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
SHOULD CLOSE FOLLOW THE LATEST INFORMATION FOR THIS MAJOR STORM AND
PREPARE FOR THE IMPACTS RELATED TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...FLOODING
