What forecasters said that day

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 Jul 3, 12:52 AM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 12:52 AM CDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
1252 AM CDT Mon Jul 3 2017

.DISCUSSION...
The 06Z aviation discussion follows....

&&

.AVIATION...
A few patches of low clouds and possible BR will cover north-
central Oklahoma overnight, mainly affecting areas north of KOKC,
including KPNC. These clouds and BR should dissipate by mid-
morning. A thunderstorm complex over northwest Kansas will move
southeast overnight. It is forecast by most short-range models to
dissipate before it reaches Oklahoma. However, if it does survive,
it will reach central and northern Oklahoma by 12Z. Amended TAFs
will be issued if it becomes likely that those storms will reach
any of our TAF sites. Yet another complex of thunderstorms is
forecast to develop Monday afternoon, as a mid-level wave (now
over southern Colorado) strengthens and moves into the High Plains
of Colorado, then into southwest Kansas. The exact timing and
position of this complex is still not very well established, so
some adjustments will likely be necessary to the current TAFs as
the formation and trajectory become more apparent. At this time,
it appears that the storms will form over southwest Kansas and
northwest Oklahoma at approximately 03/2200Z, then advance east,
arriving at KPNC/KOKC/KOUN around 04/0200-04/0400Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 216 PM CDT Sun Jul 2 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Rain chances and location of said rain continues to be main
challenge moving forward the next several days.

MCV moving across southwest toward central Oklahoma expected to
be mechanism for development of scattered convection across
portions of central into southeast Oklahoma this afternoon and
evening. Sufficient instability exists for a few marginally severe
storms, but should be more multicell and pulse as wind shear
remains very weak.

As we move through the next several days it will be tough
to really nail down timing and locations, much like today will
likely be driven by small scale features that will not show
themselves on scales that models are able to get a handle on.
Therefore will have to cont to follow the signals the models do
pick up on. The first of which is a minor shortwave that drop
southeast out of the high plains of CO overnight. This will aid in
development of complex of storms that may move back into western
Oklahoma overnight and approach central Oklahoma toward morning.
This feature then continue to drift south/southeast keeping better
rain chances in areas near and northeast of the OKC metro
Tuesday.

Next feature will be shortwave that drops south through Plains
Tuesday night into Wednesday, which may provide one more day with
chance of rain come Wednesday.

After this we begin to come under the influence of upper ridge
that build north and northeast into central Rockies into the
central Plains. This will likely shut off the better rain chances
and leave us with hot and muggy weather by the end of the week
into next weekend.
