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 5, 9:11 PM CDT, 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 9:11 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 911 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017 .DISCUSSION... Storms continue to advance east/southeast across north-central to west-central Oklahoma late this evening. Short-range CAMs suggest that this group of storms will continue its southeast advance overnight, feeding off a low-level jet and supported by a mid/upper-level wave passing over Oklahoma. Storm intensity should diminish late tonight, but storms are not expected to dissipate until sometime Sunday morning. Heavy rain is expected from the storms, especially through about 3 am. Some flooding may occur, especially in areas where storms line up in the same direction as their movement. We updated the forecast around 8 pm, and will continue to make adjustments if trends change from expectations, or if we can refine the details better. CmS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 639 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017/ DISCUSSION... Please see the 00Z aviation discussion below. AVIATION... Widespread thunderstorm activity is expected through the overnight hours, especially from I40 northward. Hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging wind gusts over 70 mph will be possible under the strongest storms. By 06-07Z most of the storms will be located across northern and west central OK. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 239 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017/ DISCUSSION... Concerns continue to be with severe potential tonight as well as heavy rainfall across parts of the area through Monday and perhaps late this upcoming week as well. Expect isolated storms to be possible as early as 3-4pm this afternoon across parts of southwestern OK into western north TX with more widespread activity developing later this evening across northwest/northern Oklahoma. Surface boundary and convergence along this boundary from southwest Kansas into the panhandle region will be the focus for convective initiation as upper shortwave makes its way east/southeast into the region. Instability and deep layer wind shear will be sufficient for a few severe storms with both a hail and wind threat. As we move through the evening these storms are expected to develop into a line or complex of storms that will continue to pose a wind threat as they move east and southeast across the area overnight. Heavy rain potential exists as well, but expected to remain rather isolated in nature as storms remain progressive. Main synoptic boundary is expected to drop south to near the I-44 corridor Sunday afternoon and again will be focus for additional rain/thunderstorm development. Some strong storms will be possible, mainly across southern half of Oklahoma south into north Texas. Heavy rain will also continue to be a concern. Best rain chances remain across southern Oklahoma into north Texas through the first part of the upcoming week before several additional disturbances drop southeast across the southern Plains during the second half of the week into next weekend. This will keep rain chances in the forecast for much of the area, along with cooler temperatures. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight across portions of northern and western Oklahoma. Location... The Slight Risk is north of a line from Cheyenne to Enid and Ponca City. A Marginal Risk surrounds the Slight Risk area and is north of a line from Vernon to Chickasha to Shawnee. Timing... Isolated thunderstorms are possible by 3 or 4 pm, however, thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase by 7 to 8 pm. Thunderstorms will then move across much of northern and portions of central Oklahoma overnight. Impacts... Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and large hail up to ping pong ball size are the primary threats, especially with storms during the afternoon and evening. Discussion... Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms should develop during the afternoon across mainly western Oklahoma and portions of north Texas. The stronger storms will be capable of strong to severe wind gusts and some hail. Thunderstorms that develop later in the day across northwest Oklahoma will be capable of large hail and damaging winds. By mid- evening the threat should evolve to mostly damaging winds as individual storms in northwest Oklahoma consolidate and move east- southeastward. The damaging wind threat may continue into the night. .Heavy Rain/Flooding... Thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall across the area this evening and tonight resulting in localized flooding. The most likely locations to experience heavy rain and flooding are portions of northern and eastern Oklahoma. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... .Thunderstorms... Thunderstorms chances will continue through next Friday across parts of Oklahoma and north Texas, with the greatest chance occurring on Sunday and Monday. A few strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds will be possible at times, but widespread or significant severe weather is not expected. .Heavy Rain/Flooding... Thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall across the area anytime Sunday through next Friday, especially Sunday through Monday. Several inches of rainfall may occur across parts of Oklahoma and north Texas through the middle of next week. The heavy rainfall may result in flooding.
