KURTZWhat 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 Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 8, 3:36 PM CDT, 2 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 8, 3:36 PM CDT, 2 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
336 PM CDT FRI MAY 8 2015
.DISCUSSION...
THE STORM COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON OVER WEST TEXAS
WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
A SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDING ROUGHLY ALONG I-40 SHOULD AT LEAST
SLIGHTLY REDUCE THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TO THE NORTH.
LATER TONIGHT...THINGS BECOME MUCH LESS CLEAR. WIDESPREAD ELEVATED
CONVECTION SEEMS LIKELY AS THE LARGE STORM SYSTEM TO OUR WEST
CONTINUES TO PLOD EAST. THIS MAY CAUSE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE
FORECAST FOR TOMORROW. IN FACT...MODEL GUIDANCE IS ALL OVER THE
PLACE WITH PRECIPITATION FOR TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT.
GUIDANCE FINALLY BECOMES COHERENT AGAIN ON SUNDAY...AS THE MAIN
UPPER WAVE DEPARTS...AND A COLD FRONT IS DRIVEN SOUTHEAST INTO
OKLAHOMA.
THE NATURE OF THE FORECAST STORM MOVEMENT AND MOISTURE QUANTITY
WILL BE QUITE FAVORABLE FOR VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER MOST OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING. SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BEAR THE MAIN BRUNT
OF HEAVY RAIN...MAINLY LATE IN THE PERIOD...AND THE WATCH MAY NEED
TO BE EXTENDED FOR THAT AREA IN LATER FORECASTS...DEPENDING ON
EXACTLY WHEN THE RAIN FINALLY EXITS OUR FORECAST AREA.
MONDAY LOOKS LIKE A MILD AND DRY DAY...BEFORE RAIN CHANCES RETURN
ON TUESDAY. MODELS AGREE ON A MOIST FLOW NEAR THE SURFACE...WITH
SOUTHWEST FLOW PREVAILING ALOFT. ASSUMING THIS HAPPENS...THERE
WILL BE RELATIVELY HIGH CHANCES FOR RAIN FROM TUESDAY THROUGH AT
LEAST THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. SINCE THE MAIN TARGET OF THE RAIN
NEXT WEEK WILL PROBABLY BE THE EASTERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA...FLOODING
MAY BECOME A MAJOR CONCERN AGAIN.

WESTERN...CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT... .THUNDERSTORMS... THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND ALL OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS TODAY AND TONIGHT. LOCATION... THE MODERATE RISK AREA IS SOUTH AND WEST OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM GOODLETT TEXAS... TO LAWTON AND PAULS VALLEY... TO DURANT OKLAHOMA. AN ENHANCED RISK IS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR. TIMING... THROUGH 10 PM IMPACTS... HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF TENNIS BALLS...WIND GUSTS UP TO 80 MPH... AND A FEW TORNADOES. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO OCCUR WHICH MAY RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING. .SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT... STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN THE RISK AREAS SHOULD BE READY FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT. DISCUSSION... AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SPREAD EAST AND NORTHEAST THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER.

THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP INTO ONE OR MORE BOWING LINES LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IF THIS OCCURS... DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS WILL BECOME A BIGGER CONCERN THAN THE HAIL. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER... THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO EARLY SATURDAY. .HEAVY RAIN... WITH THE CONTINUED THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN IN AREAS WITH PROLONGED RAINFALL. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... .THUNDERSTORMS... A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS SATURDAY...AND A SLIGHT RISK SUNDAY. ON SATURDAY...A POTENT STORM SYSTEM COMBINED WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...WILL YIELD A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND TORNADOES WILL ALL BE POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO. ON SUNDAY...SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG A SLOW MOVING FRONT...BRINGING A CONTINUED THREAT OF LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES. BY MONDAY...A COLD FRONT SHOULD RESULT IN DECREASING STORM CHANCES FROM WEST TO EAST...BUT A LOW CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN RETURN EACH DAY FROM TUESDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND...AS A SERIES OF SYSTEMS MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS APPEARS RELATIVELY LOW FROM TUESDAY ONWARD. .HEAVY RAIN... ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING AND MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.
