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.
NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 7, 9:01 AM CDT, 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 9:01 AM CDT, 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 901 AM CDT Thu Jun 7 2018 .UPDATE... Updated grids for this morning and afternoon to reflect better chance of storms across parts of south central and southeast Oklahoma as well as higher POPS through the morning for central Oklahoma. Clouds and precipitation will obviously influence diurnal temperature trace today, especially along and east of roughly highway 81. By mid to late afternoon, an outflow may extend from parts of southeastern Oklahoma into west central/northwestern Oklahoma...per 12z HRRR. Western part of this boundary may have a decent chance of seeing strong to severe storms by the late afternoon. Overall confidence is not high however. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 604 AM CDT Thu Jun 7 2018/ DISCUSSION... The 12Z aviation discussion follows.... AVIATION... The large complex of thunderstorms over much of Kansas and northern Oklahoma will probably continue its east-southeast movement this morning before finally dissipating late this morning. This will bring thunderstorms into KPNC around the start of the forecast period, and storms will probably be in the vicinity of KOKC (maybe even KOUN) during the early hours of the forecast as well. Additional showers/thunderstorms are expected to form this afternoon and evening. It is very difficult to nail down locations and timing...at least until this evening, when storms are more likely to form over western Oklahoma. These storms, mainly after 21Z, will most likely affect KWWR and KCSM, possibly points farther east later in the evening. Outside thunderstorms, conditions should be breezy, but VFR. CmS PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 530 AM CDT Thu Jun 7 2018/ DISCUSSION... The large MCS over Kansas is expected to continue to shift east early this morning, mainly affecting extreme north-central Oklahoma (and Kansas). There is a possibility that the complex will turn to the south, following the mid-level winds. It is unclear how well the storms would fare in the less-favorable environment farther south of the Kansas/Oklahoma border, so PoPs for that area this morning were held to about 20%. Additional storms are expected to form this afternoon over western Oklahoma and the Panhandles. Then, as the upper-level ridge begins to build back over the region tonight, the rain chances will drop accordingly. A few waves circling the ridge may still crank out convection, particularly on Monday, and Tuesday night into Wednesday. Given the difficulty of forecasting those types of small features that far out, the confidence in the rain events next week is quite low. Temperatures will be fairly steady through the period, with daytime highs and nighttime lows running a few degrees above the seasonal average. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
