What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Dec 31, 5:53 AM CST, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 31, 5:53 AM CST, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 553 AM CST FRI DEC 31 2010 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM. COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA IS SPREADING RW/TRW ACROSS TAF SITES. ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE WITH THE LINE...BUT EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS BEHIND THE PRECIPITATION WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED REMAINDER OF PERIOD. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM CST FRI DEC 31 2010/ DISCUSSION... THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL ALL BE IN THE FIRST 12 TO 24 HOURS. CONVECTIVE LINE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS THE LIFT FROM A VORT LOBE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE LARGE ROCKIES UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS. GIVEN THE RATE OF EASTWARD PROGRESS IT APPEARS THE LINE WILL BE EAST OF TULSA AND MCALESTER BY 12Z. I HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-40 AND EAST OF HWY 69. ONCE THIS LINE EXITS THE AREA...OUR BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP THIS FORECAST WILL BE DONE. SURFACE WINDS/WIND GUSTS AND TEMPS WILL BE ANOTHER ISSUE TODAY. CURRENT SURFACE MAP SHOWS TWO DISTINCT FRONTAL BOUNDARIES. THE POLAR/ARCTIC BOUNDARY IS DRAPED WEST TO EAST NEAR THE OK/KS BORDER WHILE A PACIFIC FRONT IS MARCHING EAST ACROSS WEST TX ATTM. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO RIPPLE ALONG THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY AND EFFECTIVELY DRAG THE PACIFIC FRONT EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS MORNING. MEANWHILE...THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO SAG SOUTHEAST INTO NE OK AS THE LOW LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY. THERE WILL BE A SHARP TEMP GRADIENT WHEREVER THE POLAR/ARCTIC FRONT ENDS UP. TO THE SOUTH OF THE ARCTIC FRONT AND BEHIND THE PACIFIC FRONT...STRONG WESTERLY WINDS...AIDED IN PART BY MOMENTUM TRANSFER OF STRONG WINDS ALOFT TO THE SURFACE...ARE EXPECTED DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 35 MPH AND MAY APPROACH 40 MPH OVER NORTHEAST OK...HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO BE TOO BORDERLINE FOR A WIND ADVISORY ISSUANCE AT THIS TIME. NAM MODEL TIME HEIGHT PLOTS OF WIND AND MIXING HEIGHT DO NOT SHOW OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR ADVISORY TYPE WINDS. WINDS DECREASE ALOFT BY THE TIME MIXING HEIGHTS ARE DEEP ENOUGH TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THEM. ANOTHER VORT LOBE IS EXPECTED TO ROUND THE BASE OF THE EJECTING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT. MODEL RH PLOTS SHOW DECENT 500-700MB MOISTURE...HOWEVER IT WILL BE QUITE DRY IN THE LOWER LEVELS AND MODELS DO NOT HAVE ANY QPF FORECAST. WILL KEEP POPS TOO LOW TO MENTION AND WILL LET DAYSHIFT TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. IT WILL BE A COLD START TO THE NEW YEAR WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S AND 40S. TEMPS WILL REBOUND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE PATTERN DEAMPLIFIES AND TAKES ON A MORE ZONAL CHARACTER. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO A DEVELOPING TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM OFF THE SOUTHERN CA COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES BY THE MIDDLE TO LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE 00Z RUNS OF THE GFS/ECMWF AGREE QUITE WELL WITH THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM...AND BOTH SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE TOO FAR SOUTH TO BRING PRECIP TO MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...DUE IN PART TO THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHWEST FLOW IN THE NORTHERN STREAM. BOTH MODELS DO SHOW THAT THE FAR NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE PRECIP COULD REACH UP INTO SOUTHEAST OK WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AND THUS I HAVE INTRODUCED A SLGT CHC POP FOR RAIN. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS TRANQUIL WITH A PREVAILING NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IN THE WAKE OF THE MIDWEEK SYSTEM. LACY && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
