$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
614 AM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017
.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Weakening thunderstorm complex will move across northwest AR
through 15z with a limited threat of wind gusts to 30 knots and
brief MVFR conditions. Additional storms likely late this evening
in the 06-12z time frame with possible MVFR conditions, mainly
north of I-40, as a cold front moves through.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 257 AM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Keeping a close eye on severe MCS currently dropping southeast
across eastern KS/western MO. HRRR has struggled with the
evolution of this system through most of the night...although the
latest iteration appears to have a reasonable handle. Will likely
see this activity move into parts of northwest AR (and perhaps far
northeastern OK) toward daybreak although in a more weakened
state...but we could still see some gusty winds. Will make some
last minute tweaks to first period PoPs prior to forecast
issuance.
The next order of business will be the widespread excessive heat
for this afternoon. Expect a rather large area of mid 70s dewpoint
pooling across parts of eastern OK...and with highs expected to
top out in the mid/upper 90s will upgrade advisory to an excessive
heat warning for much of northeast OK.
A cold front will advance into southeast KS by late
afternoon/early evening...with additional shower/thunderstorm
development expected along the boundary. This activity should move
into northern sections of the forecast area later Saturday night
as the cold front sags farther south. The front will slow a bit
across southeast OK/western AR in Sunday...and provide the focus
for additional afternoon convection. Strong forecast instability
will support a few severe storms...with large hail/damaging winds
being the main threat. The cold front...along with associated
cloud cover/precipitation will hold afternoon temps down
considerably with highs mainly in the 80s.
The cooler/drier conditions will continue into Monday/Monday
night...with a return to more hot/humid conditions returning by
Tuesday and continuing through the remainder of the week. The
forecast area will remain along the southern edge of the
westerlies...so some nocturnal convection is not out of the
question mainly for the northern areas.
