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 Aug 4, 2:55 PM CDT, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 2:55 PM CDT, 3 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 255 PM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017 .DISCUSSION... A few showers and thunderstorms should develop across mainly far southern Oklahoma and western north Texas near a weak cold front this afternoon. The northern half of Oklahoma will be dry through mid/late evening. A rapid transport of higher theta-e air will occur this evening and overnight, as a strong low level jet develops over the southern and central Plains. The 12z experimental HRRR develops scattered to numerous thunderstorms across central and northern Kansas mainly after midnight. Storms that form should develop into an MCS with an east to southeast movement through early to mid morning Saturday. Other operational models develop convection farther south overnight including parts of northern Oklahoma. An outflow boundary from overnight convection may move into northern and perhaps central Oklahoma. This boundary may help focus thunderstorms Saturday afternoon as temperatures warm into the 90s. Overall confidence in this is low. A more likely scenario for thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening will be along and near a cold front in central and southern Kansas. Instability and shear will support strong to severe storms, especially through the evening hours. Thunderstorms should continue to develop and move southward across northern and western Oklahoma Saturday evening. Areas of heavy rain and strong wind gusts will be possible through the overnight hours. Showers and storms will continue into Sunday morning...but intensity and coverage should gradually decrease as a low level jet weakens. Additional storms should form again Sunday afternoon and evening, especially across southern Oklahoma and western north Texas near a cold front. Rain and thunderstorms may continue into Monday along and north of a surface and elevated boundary. By Tuesday and Wednesday, enough dry air should move into the area that rain and storm chances will be rather low. Another wave will approach the area by late next week bringing another chance of rain and thunderstorms. Overall next week will bring another period of below average temperatures. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
