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.

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 13, 2:58 PM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 2:58 PM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
258 PM CDT THU MAR 13 2008

.DISCUSSION...
SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL OK WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS DRY
LINE EXTENDING SOUTH FROM THE LOW...WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT
EXTENDING TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE
FA. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH BEFORE
STALLING AGAIN THIS EVENING. SHORTWAVE SEEN IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
OVER SW OKLAHOMA WILL SWING ACROSS THE AREA...WITH STORMS
INITIATING AHEAD OF IT NEAR THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. STEEP LAPSE RATES OF 7-8 C/KM AND
DECENT SHEAR WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH
HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. THOUGH MOISTURE HAS BEEN INCREASING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...BELIEVE THE
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS A BIT OVERDONE BY THE SHORT RANGE MODELS AND
LESS THAN IDEAL FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WX. THERE WILL BE A SMALL
CHANCE FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS THIS EVENING WHERE THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL BE HIGHEST. THE QUICK MOVING SHORT WAVE WILL BE EAST OF THE
AREA LATER TONIGHT...WITH STORMS ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST.

A STRONGER SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TOMORROW. SURFACE
LOW EXPECTED TO TRAVEL NEAR THE RED RIVER ON FRIDAY AS PER MOST OF
THE SHORT RANGE MODELS /EVEN THE WRF HAS BEEN TRENDING FURTHER
SOUTH/. STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS...PRIMARILY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE SURFACE AND 850MB WARM FRONTS
OVER NE OKLAHOMA AND NW ARKANSAS. STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL AGAIN
BRING A THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE
HAIL. FURTHER SOUTH...THE CAP WILL BE MUCH STRONGER...MAKING
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LESS LIKELY. HOWEVER...ANY STORMS THAT
ARE ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH THE CAP COULD QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. A
FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO SATURDAY...WITH COOLER AIR FILTERING IN
BEHIND THE SYSTEM.

SUNDAY WILL BE NICE AS RETURN FLOW SETS UP OVER THE REGION.
ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT WILL DIG INTO
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL SET UP A
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT OVER THE AREA DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE WEEK...WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD RIVER AND FLASH
FLOODING. PAST COUPLE OF RUNS OF THE GFS HAVE TRENDED SLOWER WITH
THE SYSTEM...BRINGING IT MORE IN LINE WITH ECMWF. HAVE UPPED POPS
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS SLOWER MOVEMENT. A
SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...AND QPF AMOUNTS WILL PROBABLY TREND EVEN HIGHER IN
LATER FORECASTS. SEVERE WEATHER WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN MONDAY AND
TUESDAY WITH THIS SYSTEM.

   ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA EXCEPT PAWNEE AND OSAGE COUNTIES...

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

	RISK...LIMITED.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.

DISCUSSION...
INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AHEAD OF A SURFACE LOW AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING THE
THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THIS EVENING.
COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER
DISTURBANCE WILL ENHANCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF LARGE HAIL.

ALSO...LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND
A LIMITED TORNADO RISK WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS...PRIMARILY
FOR FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...
AS ANOTHER FAST MOVING UPPER DISTURBANCE INCREASES THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES LATE FRIDAY.  SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL ALSO
ACCOMPANY ANY STORMS WHICH DEVELOP BY FRIDAY EVENING.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY MORNING...WITH
A DRY PERIOD EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE REGION BY
LATE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD.  WHILE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
IS POSSIBLE...THE FOCUS WILL LIKELY TREND MORE TOWARD THE
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL DURING THIS PERIOD.  THE LATEST DATA
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF
ONE INCH...WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.  THIS WOULD LIKELY
RESULT IN BOTH FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING.
