What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 21, 12:26 PM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 12:26 PM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1226 PM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Line of strong to severe storms will bring threat of wind gusts over 40 knots to western AR sites through 20z. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue through the evening with IFR conditions prevailing, and only limited improvement to flight conditions expected through 18z Saturday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 950 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017/ DISCUSSION... Regional sfc analysis at 14z showed warm front extending from approximately southern Sebastian County eastward to just south of McAlester. Regarding severe weather potential, this will be the feature to watch, and with ongoing widespread moderate to heavy rainfall north of the front, not much northward movement is expected until possibly later today as main sfc low lifts northeast. Severe weather potential increasing over the next 1-2 hours across SE OK as organizing complex moving through OKC metro continues southeast. There will be at least some tornado potential as the storms interact with the effective warm front. No changes made to Flash Flood Watch at this time, main updates are for increased POPS across southeast OK. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 655 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017/ AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Initial convective complex currently moving through northwest Arkansas this morning with IFR conditions in the stronger storms. Multiple rounds of showers/thunderstorms expected across E OK/NW AR today through the evening hours. Storms should begin clearing NW OK by mid evening and shift east of AR TAF sites shortly after midnight. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 307 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017/ DISCUSSION... Early morning water vapor imagery showed progressive shortwave trough moving across northeastern New Mexico and over the OK/TX panhandles. The surface front extended from a low southwest of Midland northeast to near Wichita Falls through southeast Oklahoma. Elevated storms are ongoing across northeast Oklahoma, forming along and north of the 850mb front. So far these storms have been below severe limits. Most areas have received up to a half inch of rain with isolated amounts over an inch. The main concern today will be additional heavy rain and the potential for flooding. There are several rivers in our area which are forecast to have minor or moderate flooding based on forecast precipitation amounts. The NAM shows the heaviest QPF axis farther north across far northeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas while the ECMWF is a bit farther south. It does appear that widespread 2-3" amounts will occur today with locally higher amounts. We will add Sequoyah and McIntosh counties to the ongoing Flood Watch. As far as severe weather, the better potential is south of I-40. The front will not lift north in areas where there has been recent or ongoing convection. There are some storms approaching from central OK that could produce isolated large hail across mainly east central Oklahoma this morning. If storms can initiate later this afternoon along the stalled front in southern Oklahoma, they could affect mainly southeast Oklahoma by late afternoon. Short wave trough axis will be over northeast Oklahoma tonight, which will drive the boundary south and bring an end to the rain by early Saturday morning. Temperatures on Saturday will be quite chilly compared to recent days, with highs in the 50s and lows on Sunday morning in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Sunday will bring a return to sunshine and a warmup, with the next chance for precipitation arriving by Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

DISCUSSION... Severe thunderstorms will continue to move through East Central Oklahoma and Western Arkansas through Mid-afternoon, with damaging straight-line winds likely, along with a slight threat of a brief tornado. These storms will help reinforce a surface frontal boundary across southeast Oklahoma, which may serve as a focus for additional severe thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening. Any storms that develop in this area will pose a risk of all modes of severe weather, including very large hail, as well as a few tornadoes with any storms that remain near the boundary. The threat of severe storms will end by later this evening. Heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding will continue, especially along and north of I-40 where 2 to 3 inches of rain have already occurred today. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SATURDAY through SUNDAY...No Hazards. MONDAY...High Wind Potential. TUESDAY...No Hazards. WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Cooler conditions are expected behind the front through the weekend as high pressure builds into the region.
