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 Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at May 10, 3:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 3:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 324 PM CDT Wed May 10 2017 .DISCUSSION... Main forecast concern continues to be thunderstorm chances through Thursday night, including some strong to severe potential. Thunderstorms are ongoing across eastern Oklahoma this afternoon in association with a small upper level disturbance moving northeastward into the area. Storms in northeast Oklahoma should be the strongest of the evening, with one or two near severe levels possible, due to locally higher instability. Farther to the southwest, additional thunderstorms expected to develop through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening in the vicinity of the triple point may hold together long enough to move northeastward into parts of northeast Oklahoma after midnight. A lull in the coverage should occur tomorrow morning and perhaps into early tomorrow afternoon. Thunderstorm coverage will again increase by mid afternoon tomorrow, as instability increases with the approach of the upper level low. Very large hail will be the main severe weather threat, with damaging winds also a concern. Tornado potential continues to be very limited, although local enhancements to the wind field could lead to a very localized threat. Thunderstorm potential will diminish Thursday night, roughly from west to east, as the upper low begins to move east of the area. Showers may linger into the daylight hours Friday, mainly across western Arkansas, with dry weather likely to arrive by the afternoon. Dry weather will continue into the weekend, with near normal temperatures Saturday and much warmer for Sunday. Above normal temperatures will persist through most of next week. Low thunderstorm chances will arrive for the early to middle of the week, with increasing chances likely toward the latter half. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
