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 May 11, 3:48 PM CDT, 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 3:48 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
348 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY....AN AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS TO POSSIBLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WERE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND CENTRAL
TEXAS AHEAD OF A DRY LINE POSITIONED ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS
PANHANDLES. THIS AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH
THE FORECAST PACKAGE.

THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OUT AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE INTO
EASTERN OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AND ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE
EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
STEEP LOW- LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVER THE CWA WILL ALLOW FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING
FOR MOST OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS LOOK
TO BE THE MAIN THREATS.

CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. DURING THE DAY TOMORROW THE COLD FRONT AND DRY
LINE WILL MAKE ANOTHER RUN TOWARDS EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THESE
BOUNDARIES SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH CLOSE TO OSAGE AND PAWNEE
COUNTIES BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ALONG THE DRY LINE AND WITHIN THE
WARM SECTOR...THUNDERSTORMS TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN UNDER AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. ALL MODES
OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE.

MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATED THAT THE COLD FRONT SHOULD OVERTAKE THE
DRY LINE THURSDAY EVENING AND FINALLY PUSH INTO THE CWA THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH PRECIP BECOMING MOSTLY SHOWERS
BEHIND THE FRONT. BY FRIDAY EVENING...MOST OF THE PRECIP SHOULD BE
EXITING THE CWA. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO
COOL INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50 FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE TO
BE COOL AND BELOW THE NORMAL FOR MID MAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
FOLLOWED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

WITHIN THE EXTENDED FORECAST PACKAGE...A SECONDARY UPPER LEVEL LOW
LOOKS TO SPIN OFF THE MAIN TROF SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY. THIS
WAVE SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART REMAIN TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE CWA
AND THUS WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. A WEAK
RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE PLAINS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEXT WORK
WEEK. TEMPS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD SHOULD BE ABLE TO REBOUND BACK
INTO THE 70S BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. MODELS DIVERGE ON SOLUTIONS
HEADING INTO LATE NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER WAVE MOVING IN FROM THE
WEST. FOR NOW WILL FOLLOW PREVIOUS FORECASTS WITH DRY CONDITIONS
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND UPDATE AS MODEL
TRENDS BECOME MORE IN LINE WITH EACH OTHER.
