Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 29 minutes after it went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Amarillo Airport, TX (KAMA), launched 00:00Z, 4.6 hours before the alert went out and 192 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

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.

NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Sep 17, 10:56 PM CDT, 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 10:56 PM CDT, 38 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
1056 PM CDT SAT SEP 17 2016

.UPDATE...

&&

.DISCUSSION...
After additional analysis we have lowered precipitation probabilities
substantially over central Oklahoma including OKC. Convective
overturning from earlier MCS is significant. Furthermore, 850 mb
flow is not particularly strong overnight to bring moisture back,
and the flow veers substantially later tonight. Veering low level
flow and insignificant theta-e advection should limit convection.
The best chance will be with ongoing complex over the Texas
Panhandle as it moves southeast into southwestern Oklahoma and as
described in previous discussion should generally follow theta-e
gradient near/along the Red River where convectively reinforced
surface boundary resides.

BRB

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1000 PM CDT SAT SEP 17 2016/

UPDATE...

DISCUSSION...
Minor adjustments were made to the forecast for the rest of the
evening and overnight. Hourly temperatures were adjusted downward
based on an a disruption of normal nocturnal cooling by earlier
precipitation/evaporative cooling process. Surface observations
indicated that some locations have already fallen to near their
forecast low temperature. We will monitor for the possibility of
fog later tonight given residual low level moisture and cooler
temperatures. Low level winds and resultant turbulent mixing
should be enough to limit development. If it does develop it is
not expected to be widespread.

There are some negatives for overnight convection, especially
across the central and northern portions of Oklahoma. 00Z sounding
shows significant convective overturning and depletion of low
level moisture has occurred in the wake of MCS. Nevertheless,
ascent from approaching trough is stronger than we have seen with
systems in recent days. Ongoing convection over the Texas
Panhandle may have a tendency to take a further south track that
earlier thought, closer to convectively enhanced surface boundary
now near the Red River. Along this boundary short term model
guidance maintain a weak theta-e gradient into the night. We have
expanded the highest probabilities south to near and along this
theta-e gradient and lowered probabilities across the north.
Aforementioned large scale ascent should still be enough to
maintain at least chance probabilities across the north.

BRB

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 545 PM CDT SAT SEP 17 2016/

AVIATION...
Complex of storms will push east of OKC/OUN TAF sites around
00Z. However another complex of storms is expected to push east and
southeast across much of the area overnight tonight. This will
create a period of MVFR and perhaps some IFR conditions. Convection
and much of the cloud cover will exit before sunrise with VFR
conditions through the day on Sunday at all sites.

30

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM CDT SAT SEP 17 2016/

DISCUSSION...
Severe thunderstorm potential through tonight is the primary
concern.

Through 8 pm this evening, severe storm potential will increase. As
of 315 pm, a complex of strong to severe storms over far western
Oklahoma will continue to move east near I-40. Damaging winds up
to 70 mph will be the main hazard with this complex, though hail
up to golf ball size, heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning are
possible as well. This complex will likely impact the Oklahoma
City metro area in the 5-7 pm time frame. This complex may grow
upscale in wind potential as well as coverage in the next several
hours with numerous severe reports of mainly damaging wind possible.
Latest model runs, including HRRR, seemed to be doing a poor job
handling this complex.

Additional isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms
may form ahead of this complex through 8 pm this evening as the
air is weakly capped across Oklahoma. South of the Red River,
capping appears to be stronger. Sufficient shear (0-6 km bulk
shear 30-45 kt) and instability (MLCAPE 1000-2500 J/kg which is in
the 90th percentile or higher for this time of year) support
supercells and multicells capable of large hail and damaging
winds. Locally heavy rainfall is possible as well, though
widespread flooding seems unlikely due to decent storm motions
generally over 20 mph.

After 8 pm this evening, activity this afternoon should diminish,
and the main attention for additional storms will switch to the
High Plains which may congeal and dive southeast into a large
MCS/squall line. Latest model guidance have been suggesting this
potential, though confidence is not too high as ongoing storms
this afternoon will impact the local environment. There appears to
be a lower severe threat with these storms compared to this
afternoon due to the loss of daytime heating and as the boundary
layer cools and becomes more stable. However, a few reports of
damaging winds up to 70 mph and large hail up to golf balls will
be possible along with locally heavy rainfall. The timing of this
possible complex remains uncertain, but generally believe it would
occur in the 8 pm to 4 am time frame. Did not go too high with
rain chances tonight as not completely sure this complex will
materialize.

Sunday, a few morning showers and storms with locally heavy
rainfall may linger during the morning hours, mainly southeast of
I-44. Otherwise, decreasing clouds and hot/humid conditions are
expected.

Sunday night through next Saturday, hot and humid conditions are
generally forecast with limited rain chances. Temperatures are
forecast to be well above average for mid to late September. A
cold front may bring cooler conditions and higher rain chances by
the end of the week.
