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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 3:50 PM CDT, 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
350 PM CDT THU JUL 26 2012

.DISCUSSION...
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING ACROSS NW ARKANSAS WITH MORE
SCATTERED ACTIVITY INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA BEGINNING TO PROPAGATE
SOUTHEAST. SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS
GENERAL ZONE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH LESSER CHANCES ACROSS NE
OKLAHOMA...THOUGH MCV CURRENTLY CENTERED NEAR KPNC MAY TRIGGER AT
LEAST ISOLATED STORMS AS IT MOVES EAST. REGIONAL MESONANLYSIS
INDICATES DCAPES 1200-1500 GENERALLY NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-44 AND
LOCALLY PRODUCED SIGNIFICANT WIND GRIDS SHOWING VERY HIGH VALUES
IN THIS AREA AS WELL...THUS THE THREAT OF DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS
RELATIVELY HIGH. GRADUAL SHIFT SOUTH EXPECTED TONIGHT.

CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY SET TO EXPIRE AT 02Z AND THE PRESENT
CONFIGURATION WELL SUPPORTED BY AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES. WILL LOOK
AND SEE JUST BEFORE ISSUANCE WHETHER ANY COUNTIES CAN BE DROPPED
AS STORMS ONGOING IN PARTS OF THE ADVISORY AREA. COOLER OVERNIGHT
LOWS TONIGHT WITH MOST AREAS DROPPING NEAR OR BELOW 75.

BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT CONVECTION WILL DROP FARTHER SOUTH
FRIDAY WITH THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS REMAINING SOUTH OF I-40.
INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND POTENTIAL RAINFALL FOOTPRINT WILL KEEP TEMPS
DOWN IN THAT AREA...BUT TEMPS WILL HEAT UP AGAIN ACROSS THE NORTH
AND WILL BE NEAR HEAT ADVISORY LEVELS FOR A TIME FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
SITUATION IS MARGINAL AT THIS POINT AS DEW POINTS ARE LIKELY TO
FALL OFF IN THE AFTERNOON AND THUS HEAT INDEX MAY BE CLOSE OR EVEN
SLIGHTLY BELOW ACTUAL TEMPS. NOT QUITE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE
AN ADVISORY AS A RESULT.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RE-ASSERTS ITSELF BY THE WEEKEND WITH TRIPLE
DIGIT HEAT BECOMING LIKELY FOR SEVERAL DAYS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
EXCESSIVE HEAT HEADLINES WILL BE LIKELY OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
DURING THIS TIME. SMALL CHANCES OF CONVECTION ALONG EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE COULD IMPACT NW ARKANSAS BUT PROBABILITY
TOO LO2W TO MENTION IN FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

...SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH DANGEROUS HEAT...

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...AFTER 3 PM.

DANGEROUS HEAT.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVED INTO THE
REGION. THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PUSH INTO THE
REGION WITH THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH
BEING THE MAIN THREAT. THE GREATER CHANCES LOOK TO BE ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND ALSO WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS...WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY CLIMBED INTO THE UPPER
90S. A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THESE LOCATIONS WHERE HEAT
INDICES OF AROUND 105 TO NEAR 110 DEGREES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

WITH THE HOT TEMPERATURES AND DROUGHT CONDITIONS...VERY HIGH FIRE
DANGERS CONTINUE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
THE GREATEST FIRE SPREAD POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO BE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...WHERE HIGHER TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN
OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON. FIRE CONDITIONS SHOULD DECREASE OVERNIGHT
WITH THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND RECOVERING RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE LOCAL SPOTTER NETWORK MAY BE NEEDED...PRIMARILY
TO RELAY ANY DOWNBURST WIND DAMAGE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER
         POTENTIAL...DANGEROUS HEAT POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...
                             DANGEROUS HEAT POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN PROBABLE FRIDAY AS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. GREATER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
ARE EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...WHILE
DANGEROUS HEAT AND VERY HIGH FIRE DANGERS ARE POSSIBLE NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 40.

HIGH PRESSURE SETS BACK UP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS DURING THE
WEEKEND AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR HIGHS BACK OVER THE TRIPLE DIGIT MARK TO BE COMMON AND VERY
HIGH FIRE DANGERS WITHIN ONGOING DROUGHT CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EXCESSIVE HEAT RELATED RESPONSES ARE POSSIBLE AS ANOTHER
PROLONGED STRETCH OF HEAT IS CURRENTLY FORECAST.
