The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Sep 24, 2:26 PM CDT, 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 24, 2:26 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 226 PM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 .DISCUSSION... Heavy rainfall will be main concern next 36hrs. Large upper low over Wyoming/Colorado will continue to move slowly east this afternoon into this evening before lifting northeast into the Northern Plains tonight into Sunday. Models still depicting a large piece of this low remaining behind, retrograding and closing off somewhere near the baja tomorrow. As this occurs, widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across Oklahoma and western north Texas. Although overall wind fields will be rather weak, sufficient instability will be present late today into this evening for a few strong to perhaps severe storms across approximately the western half of the CWA. As the northern part of the upper low moves through the Northern Plains, a cold front will push south through Oklahoma into Texas during the day on Sunday. This will bring cooler and drier air into the area, which will limit the rain/thunder to Red River valley by Sunday night. Drier and cooler air will then overspread the area, resulting in acouple of pleasant and more fall-like days early in the week. Hightemperatures Monday/Tuesday will only climb into the 70s with nighttime temperatures dropping into the upper 40s and lower 50s byTuesday morning. The upper low over the baja is expected to lift northeast through southern and central Rockies into the plains by late in the week. This may result in a few showers across northwest Oklahoma by late Thursday into Friday. Otherwise, temperatures will warm back to into the low/mid 80s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
