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 14, 9:37 PM CDT, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 14, 9:37 PM CDT, 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
937 PM CDT FRI MAR 14 2008

.DISCUSSION...
AT 02Z SURFACE LOW NEAR KSPS. LOW WILL TAKE AN
EASTERN TRACK NEAR THE RED RIVER AND BE AROUND
EXTREME SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS BY SUNRISE SATURDAY.
CURRENT SHOWER AND THUNDER ACTIVITY OVER NORTH
HALF OF THE  FORECAST AREA SEEMS TO BE LACKING
IN ENOUGH FUEL/MOISTURE FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE.

WAIT AND SEE TACK TAKEN GIVEN BRISK UPPER FLOW.
PREVIOUS GRIDDED POPS STILL LOOK REASONABLE AS
DO TEMPS. ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.           GW

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM CDT FRI MAR 14 2008/

DISCUSSION...
EVOLVING PATTERN UNDERWAY WITH DETAILS HOPEFULLY MORE EVIDENT
LATER TO FURTHER REFINE PRECIP AND SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES
OVERNIGHT. SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING WITHIN THE FAST ZONAL FLOW
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. HAS LED TO A BROAD REGION OF PRESSURE
FALLS...WITH SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA
EXPECTED TO MIGRATE SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE TURNING MORE EAST AS IT
CROSSES THE FORECAST AREA. MOISTURE ADVECTION IS ONGOING ACROSS
THE AREA HOWEVER THE MORE ROBUST WARM SECTOR REMAINS SOUTH OF THE
RED RIVER WITH A TRIPLE POINT ZONE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS. CAP
STRENGTH HAS ERODED ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA NEARER THIS WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND WHILE MOST MODELS SHOW LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR
STORM INITIATION IN THIS AREA...THE CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY OF
SEVERE WEATHER IS HIGH SHOULD A STORM DEVELOP IN THIS VICINITY.

ATTENTION WILL INCREASINGLY TURN TO INFLUENCE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED STRENGTHENING FORCING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL INTO
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. AN ELEVATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO
STRENGTHEN THROUGH THIS ZONE DURING THE EVENING...AND ASSUMING THE
MOISTURE PROFILES SUGGESTED BY MODELS IS REALIZED...THEN AMPLE
ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ADDITIONALLY FORECAST
EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES THROUGH THIS ZONE SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND
VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL ENSURE VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS WITH LARGE
HAIL POTENTIAL. THE WIND AND TORNADIC POTENTIAL WILL BE LARGELY A
FACTOR OF HOW ELEVATED THE STORM UPDRAFTS BECOME...WITH SREF
GUIDANCE SUGGESTING NEAR SURFACE BASED CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE SHOULD THE STORMS EVOLVE INTO A
LARGER COMPLEX...AND ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS MAY ARISE
ACROSS AREAS WHERE HEAVIER RAINS WERE RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.

A BRIEF DRY PERIOD IS EXPECTED SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH THE
LARGE UPPER TROUGH STILL SLATED TO IMPACT THE REGION LATE SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY. ANY SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL QUICKLY
TRANSITION TO A HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING FOCUS AS THE EXPECTED
PATTERN FAVORS WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE REGION. MORE
SETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE MID TO LATTER PORTION OF NEXT WEEK.

	AREA...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...LATE EVENING.

DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS EVENING
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TOWARD MIDNIGHT. THIS
ACTIVITY WAS DEVELOPING NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT CURRENTLY EXTENDS
FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS.
STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...ALONG WITH AN INCREASINGLY WESTERLY
700MB JET SUGGESTS THAT THE ACTIVITY WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME SEVERE
BY THE LATE EVENING. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT GIVEN THE DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER...ALTHOUGH LARGE HAIL
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL.

THE TORNADO THREAT IS MORE QUESTIONABLE AS THE BULK OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ROOTED ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER. AREAS NEAR
THE WARM FRONT...PARTICULARLY FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL SURFACE BASED
CONVECTION.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION LIKELY NEEDED.

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

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL EVOLVE OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THEN HEAD NORTHEAST INTO THE PLAINS BY MID
WEEK.  SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL APPEAR LIKELY...BUT
THE EXACT LOCATION OF THESE ELEMENTS WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF THE
LOW. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
WILL BE ALONG ITS PATH.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING.
