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 Jun 3, 3:10 PM CDT, 6 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 3:10 PM CDT, 6 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
310 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...
A HOT AND WINDY DAY IS WELL UNDERWAY ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE
UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S. ANOTHER WARM...MUGGY AND BREEZY
NIGHT IS ON TAP FOR THE AREA WITH A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA LATE TONIGHT AS A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY
OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ENHANCED BY A STRONG LOW LEVEL
JET. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH
ELEVATED CAPE VALUES NEAR 1400 J/KG AND LI VALUES NEAR -4.
THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THESE STORMS WOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOK TO BE HOT AND DRY WITH NO SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED WITH A STRONG CAPPING INVERSION
IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION.

THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS A POTENT MID-LEVEL LOW MOVES OUT OF THE
ROCKIES AND ACROSS THE PLAINS. THIS WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT
INTO THE REGION FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE IT STALLS OUT AND RETREATS
BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON SATURDAY. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY COULD BE SEVERE WITH
CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 3000 J/KG AND LI VALUES NEAR -8. AT THIS
TIME IT LOOKS AS IF A SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE
MAIN CONCERNS. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES ESPECIALLY
EARLY IN THE EVENT IF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS CAN FORM.

THE WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE HOT AND DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE
PREVAILS. THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE AREA.
