$$What forecasters said that day
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 Sep 8, 2:12 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 2:12 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 212 AM CDT Wed Sep 8 2021 .DISCUSSION... Convection continues to fester across parts of east central OK and western AR, ahead of the cold front that is draped along the I-44 corridor at this time. May need to include low PoPs for early this morning across the southeast, although will take a last look at radar before deciding. Otherwise, the cold front will clear the region later this morning, with cooler temps (actually closer to seasonal norms) expected areawide. Low dewpoints and light winds due to surface ridging conditions will allow temps to fall off nicely tonight, with lows in the mid 50s/lower 60s for Thursday morning. Unfortunately, temperatures will quickly bounce back to above normal by late week and into the weekend as the western ridge shifts east. Slightly veered flow on Saturday will bring the hottest weather to the area, with highs pushing 100F over parts of eastern OK. Low dewpoints will keep the humidity in check, although will see an uptick in fire weather concerns given the low afternoon RH (less than 30%) and dry fuels (you should see my yard). Extended guidance suggests the upper ridge will flatten some into next week, with the next rain chances by Wednesday as a weak upper low across TX wobbles north in the area. Temperatures should fall off some, although remain above normal. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
