Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

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 Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 16, 4:21 PM CDT, 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 16, 4:21 PM CDT, 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
421 PM CDT SAT MAY 16 2015

.DISCUSSION...
OBVIOUSLY...THE BIG STORY THIS AFTERNOON IS THE CONVECTIVE
SITUATION. IT IS STILL NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR EXACTLY WHAT FORM THE
STORMS WILL TAKE AS THEY TRAVERSE OUR FORECAST AREA. THEY MAY BE
IN THE FORM OF A LARGE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER...LINES/BOWS/ETC...OR
SCATTERED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. IN ANY CASE...THERE IS A
SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...INCLUDING TORNADOES. A
PAIR OF TORNADO WATCHES COVERS OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR AT
LEAST PART OF THIS EVENING.

THE ENTIRE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE INTO OUR EASTERN COUNTIES
AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS THE SEVERE-WEATHER POTENTIAL SLOWLY
DIMINISHES. SHORT-RANGE MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE SIGNIFICANT STORMS
WILL MOVE OUT OF OUR FORECAST AREA AROUND 3 OR 4 AM.

MEANWHILE...ALREADY-WET SOIL WILL MAKE IT EASY FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
TO PRODUCE FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING. WE PREVIOUSLY EXPANDED OUR
FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
TOMORROW MORNING. WE DO EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO TRIM PIECES OF THE
WATCH OFF LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE MAIN AREA OF
RAIN GRADUALLY SHIFTS EAST.

THE PACIFIC COLD FRONT THAT WILL FOLLOW BEHIND THE CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT WILL STALL OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
TOMORROW...THEN MOST MODELS LEAVE IT THERE...OR MOVE IT BACK
NORTHWEST...DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY. RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT
TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT...BUT WITH A DIFFERENT VERTICAL WIND
PROFILE...SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE MUCH LESS LIKELY.

A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH IT IS
UNCLEAR HOW FAR SOUTH IT WILL TRAVEL. IN ANY CASE...EARLY/MID-WEEK
WILL PROBABLY BE NOTICEABLY COOLER...AT LEAST ACROSS NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND RAIN CHANCES NEVER REALLY LEAVE OUR
FORECAST AREA. THE CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE MAINLY RESTRICTED TO
THE SOUTH EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT THEN WILL SPREAD BACK NORTH ACROSS
THE REST OF THE AREA AROUND MIDWEEK. FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE
A CONCERN THROUGH AT LEAST LATE NEXT WEEK...BECAUSE CURRENT
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT SEVEN
DAYS ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS.
