The radar
The Tulsa radar (KINX), 73 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:27 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.
The watch it was issued in

$$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 Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 24, 6:02 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 6:02 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Tulsa OK 602 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 ...UPDATE... .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. RVS is the most likely terminal to be affected by TSRA in the first few hours of the valid TAF period, with other terminals unlikely to be impacted directly. The ongoing activity will be close enough to TUL, though, that will still carry a VCTS, with no visibility or ceiling restriction. Additional scattered TSRA may develop and affect the E OK terminals late tonight and into early tomorrow as well. MVFR ceilings should affect all terminals from late tonight through much of the day tomorrow, with a gradual improvement expected during the afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 255 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016/ DISCUSSION... Scattered thunderstorms have developed this afternoon in the vicinity of a decaying outflow boundary that extends from northeast Oklahoma into north-central Oklahoma. Thunderstorms have also developed across northwest Arkansas in response to an MCV migrating across that area. These storms are forming in a very unstable and weakly sheared environment. Could see damaging winds to around 70 mph and large hail with these storms. The tornado threat is low especially along the outflow boundary. This activity is expected to diminish around sunset. Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop later this afternoon and evening across western Oklahoma and western Kansas. This activity could move into eastern Oklahoma during the overnight hours and also pose a damaging wind and hail threat. This activity would persist in the morning hours Wednesday across far eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. The chances of showers and thunderstorms decrease some on Wednesday with no real focus for development. Since the airmass will not be changing much could see some scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms in the unstable and weakly capped environment. The chances of thunderstorms increase Thursday night into Friday as a more significant upper level shortwave moves out of the southwest and across the plains. This could occur in the two rounds of thunderstorms, one Thursday night and one on Friday afternoon. Severe weather will be possible with each round with large hail and damaging winds the main concern. However, the threat for tornadoes will also be a concern especially on Friday. Storm chances diminish over the Holiday weekend. However, they do increase into the chance range on Monday as a shortwave in the southwesterly flow aloft moves across the southern plains. && .TSA Watches/Warnings/Advisories... OK...NONE.
