What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Jun 16, 3:30 AM CDT, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 3:30 AM CDT, 3 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
330 AM CDT TUE JUN 16 2015

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE
REGION EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY/SURFACE
TROF NOTED ACROSS NORTHEAST OK. EXPECT SHOWERS/SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE MID-LEVEL SHEAR AXIS THAT WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS
NORTHEAST OK. GIVEN THE VERY HIGH PWS (NEAR 2")...ADDITIONAL
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY.

ALL EYES THEN TURN TO TROPICAL STORM "BILL" WHICH IS CURRENTLY
SPINNING OFF THE TX COAST. IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL THIS
MORNING...AND EVENTUALLY MOVE INTO CENTRAL TX BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE ECMWF...WHICH HAD BEEN A MAJOR SLOW OUTLIER...HAS COME INTO MUCH
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST GFS/NAM SOLUTIONS. THE GLOBAL MODEL
SOLUTIONS...ALONG WITH THE COMPOSITE NHC TRACK GUIDANCE SHOW THE
REMAINS OF "BILL" LIFTING INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL OK WEDNESDAY EVENING
THEN TRACKING NORTHEAST THROUGH EASTERN OK AND EVENTUALLY INTO
SOUTHERN MO BY EARLY FRIDAY. THIS REPRESENTS A SLIGHT WESTWARD
ADJUSTMENT TO THE TRACK (AND HEAVIEST RAINFALL) THAN OUR PREVIOUS
FORECAST.

WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 4 TO 7 INCHES IS EXPECTED FROM SOUTHEAST OK
INTO NORTHWEST AR...WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER 10 INCHES
POSSIBLE. SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING AND MAIN STEM RIVER FLOODING IS
EXPECTED...ALONG WITH THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY MAINLY ALONG THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF "BILL" AS IT
TRACKS THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA. EXPECT SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS.

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH RATHER HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS BRIEF NORTHWESTERLY FLOW SETS UP.
