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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
605 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.

STATIONARY BOUNDARY CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM NEAR PNC TO TUL TO JUST
N OF FSM. TSRA DEVELOPING ALONG THE WESTERN END OF THE BOUNDARY
BETWEEN PNC AND TUL. ANOTHER AREA OF TSRA IS IN SE KS/SW MO.
BVO/TUL/RVS SHOULD SEE TSRA AT LEAST NEAR THE TERMINAL THRU
04Z...WITH TSRA IN KS/MO AFFECTING XNA/FYV/FSM THIS EVENING. ANY
STORMS THAT OCCUR AT THE TERMINAL ITSELF WILL BE CAPABLE OF
DOWNBURSTS...WITH SEVERE GUSTS POSSIBLE. COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT/TOMORROW...SHIFTING WINDS TO THE
NORTH.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 310 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011/

DISCUSSION...
WELL DEFINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CURRENT EXTENDS FROM NEAR KFYV THROUGH
THE TULSA METRO AREA TO NEAR STILLWATER. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
ALONG THE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE BOUNDARY LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AS IT LINGERS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BECOMING SEVERE WITH WIND GUSTS OF
AROUND 70 MPH THE MAIN CONCERN. THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVES OUT
OF KANSAS AND ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. MORE OF
A FRONTAL WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY WITH
THE FRONT HANGING UP NEAR THE RED RIVER. HAVE EXTENDED THE EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES
EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 105. WILL KEEP THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR THE
REST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE RECONFIGURED ON
THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT.

THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WORKS BACK TO THE NORTH AND A SERIES
OF MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES WORK ACROSS THE AREA. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE CONCERN.

THE UPPER RIDGE THAT HAS PLAGUED THE AREA IN RECENT WEEKS HAS PRETTY
WELL FLATTENED OUT. OVER THE WEEKEND...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL RE-ORGANIZE
OVER THE ROCKIES...RESULTING IN A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW A MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT TO
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WILL KEEP CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS
COLD FRONT.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...SIGNIFICANT.
AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
ONGOING FIRE SITUATION MAY BECOME CRITICAL THIS EVENING AS DEVELOPING
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WITH WIND
GUSTS WELL IN EXCESS OF 40 MILES AN HOUR. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF
20 TO 30 PERCENT AND ERRATIC WIND DIRECTIONS FROM THUNDERSTORMS MAY
MAKE FIRE SUPPRESSION NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

THE ATMOSPHERE IS WELL PRIMED BY EXCESSIVE HEAT AND DRY LOWER LEVELS
TO PRODUCE LOCAL DOWNBURST WINDS OF 70 MILES AN HOUR. HAIL WILL BE
A SECONDARY SEVERE THREAT.

A WEST TO EAST BOUNDARY FROM AROUND PONCA CITY TO TULSA TO AROUND
FAYETTEVILLE WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTH THEN STALL AS AN IMPULSE MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION IGNITES THUNDERSTORMS. THOSE STORMS WILL BE MOST
NUMEROUS NEAR AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY OVER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK LIKELY.

SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...DANGEROUS HEAT POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
DANGEROUSLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF
THE WEEK. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. THERE COULD BE AN
ENHANCED SEVERE THREAT ON WEDNESDAY AS MODERATE INSTABILITY COMBINES
WITH STRONG WIND FIELDS ALOFT. THE STRONGER STORMS WOULD LIKELY
POSE A THREAT OF DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. IN ADDITION...FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN HIGH AS GENERALLY HOT AND DRY
CONDITIONS CONTINUE.
