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 15, 3:25 PM CDT, 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 15, 3:25 PM CDT, 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 325 PM CDT Tue Aug 15 2017 .DISCUSSION... Warm and very humid conditions over Oklahoma and western north Texas will help fuel strong storms this afternoon and evening. Very heavy rain is expected with the stronger storms, which may lead to areas of flooding if storms train or slow down sufficiently. There is not enough confidence in flooding to warrant a Flood Watch in this case. Persistent cloud cover has maintained a relatively stable area over southwest Oklahoma and much of north Texas, so this area will see mainly showers, with only a few weak thunderstorms. The stronger storms should be limited to central and north-central Oklahoma this afternoon/evening. Over the next several days, a series of mid/upper-level waves will pass over the region, causing periodic increases/decreases in rain chances. One of the stronger waves passes overhead tomorrow and tomorrow night, bringing the highest rain chances to the area, along with a risk of additional severe storms. This will be followed by a brief break (lower rain chances) before additional waves arrive. The more subtle waves are very difficult for models (and us) to forecast beyond a day or two, so the rain forecast is fairly "broadbrushed" until the final significant wave moves through Friday night. Both of the stronger waves will be associated with surface fronts, but no major changes in temperatures are expected. CmS && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
