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 May 22, 6:46 AM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 22, 6:46 AM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 646 AM CDT Fri May 22 2020 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. MCS will continue to push across the CWA this morning with gusty to strong winds and IFR/MVFR conditions. Will continue with tempo groups for timing. Behind the MCS MVFR conditions look to lift back to VFR this afternoon as additional thunderstorm chances become possible. Greater storm chances look to be Southeast Oklahoma into Western Arkansas and will add tempo/Prob30 groups for timing. Periods of MVFR conditions will again be possible within the second round of precip. Late evening into the overnight hours...conditions look to lift back to VFR over the CWA. Winds through the period are expected to be gusty with the precip...otherwise varying from east to south and finally subsiding overnight tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 314 AM CDT Fri May 22 2020/ DISCUSSION... The main forecast concern will be severe/heavy rain potential today and tonight. A shortwave trough, currently over the central/southern High Plains, will eject northeast across the central lower Plains today. At the surface, a warm front extends east/southeast from a surface low over the northern TX Panhandle across eastern OK. A cold pool generated by an ongoing MCS over NW OK/SW KS is surging toward the south and east. The forecast for today and into tonight will hedge largely on the mesoscale details, namely the track of the ongoing MCS and the position of the outflow boundary by this afternoon. The current gridded forecast reflects the latest trends in the data, but subtle changes may be needed by later today. The ongoing MCS is expected to track east/southeast across northeast OK this morning and into northwest AR by early afternoon. Severe potential will be low as the storms enter our far western areas early this morning, but will likely ramp up thru the morning with daytime heating and advancing warm front ahead of the feature. Damaging winds and possibly a quick spin-up tornado are possible, especially where the outflow intersects the warm front. As we head into the afternoon, the left over outflow boundary should be draped from west central AR across southeast OK where more convection is likely to be focused. H5 winds will increase some during the day in the basal portion of the ejecting shortwave trough, so the initial cellular convection could be supercellular. Any discrete storms that have time to interact with the outflow boundary could produce a tornado, along with large hail and damaging winds. The latest CAMs suggest that cellular mode may not last long, growing upscale into a southeastward moving complex by late this afternoon or early this evening. Other scattered convection is likely to develop this evening across eastern OK/northwest AR as the low level jet interacts with the outflow boundary. The greatest heavy rain potential will exist across northeast OK and northwest AR thru early afternoon, especially in areas that get affected by a developing band of storms in association with the retreating warm front ahead of the MCS and by the MCS itself. As we head into the afternoon and evening, the heavy rain potential shifts down across southeast OK, where the outflow boundary could focus multiple rounds of convection over the same areas. The beginning of the holiday weekend looks fairly tame, with our area in the wake of the ejecting shortwave trough and rising heights aloft. Expect potential for rain/storms to increase, however, by the end of the weekend as an upper trough approaches from the west. Unsettled weather continues into next week as an upper low closes off overhead and becomes cutoff from the flow. We may finally see an end to precip chances by the following weekend when a cold front is expected to push thru, but we'll just have to wait and see. While organized severe weather is not expected, pockets of locally heavy rainfall, falling on areas likely to have received rounds of heavy rainfall previous, may begin to cause river flooding and localized flash flooding.

AREA...Far Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas, portions of Southeast Oklahoma. ONSET...Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas this morning into the early afternoon, Southeast Oklahoma this afternoon evening . DISCUSSION... A complex of storms will sweep across northeast Oklahoma this morning and into western Arkansas by early this afternoon. Damaging winds and a quick spin-up tornado are possible with these storms. More storms are expected to develop from west central Arkansas down into southeast Oklahoma along an outflow boundary this afternoon. These storms could become severe quickly, and will pose a large hail, damaging wind and tornado risk while cells remain discrete. A strong tornado is possible. Widely scattered storms are possible during the evening across eastern Oklahoma with some threat for large hail and damaging winds. Locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding is possible across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas this morning into the early afternoon, and across southeast Oklahoma this afternoon and evening. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. SUNDAY AND MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. TUESDAY THRU THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... An unsettled weather pattern will bring daily thunderstorm chances mainly from the latter part of the holiday weekend on into the following week. While organized severe weather is not expected, pockets of locally heavy rainfall, falling on areas likely to have received rounds of heavy rainfall previous, may begin to cause river flooding and localized flash flooding by early next week. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
