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 Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 26, 4:00 PM CDT, 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 4:00 PM CDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 400 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016 .DISCUSSION... We will cancel the heat advisory with this forecast issuance as dewpoints have been running a bit lower than expected, which has kept most heat index values below the 105 threshold. Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms have also developed, and these are resulting in some temporary relief from the heat in a few spots. Unsettled weather will be the rule over the next week, with near daily chances of showers and thunderstorms. A myriad of surface boundaries will be lying across the area, with synoptic scale boundaries being muddled by convective outflow boundaries. The upper ridge will retrograde to the west resulting in stronger northwest flow over our area by the middle to latter part of the coming week. This will result in a favorable setup for periodic MCS's to roll southeast across the area. Temperatures this week will mainly be driven by convective coverage, with the days of greatest storm coverage being less hot. Enjoy the temporary break from the well above normal temperatures this coming week, as long range progs show the heat will return in full force around and just after the fourth of July. Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
