Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

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.

NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 16, 4:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 4:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
408 AM CDT Sat Apr 16 2022

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 408 AM CDT Sat Apr 16 2022

Strong to severe storms remained ongoing early this morning along
and ahead of a slow moving cold front currently positioned from
Okfuskee county to Benton county. South of the boundary...60+ deg
dewpoints combined with instability and deep layer shear values
were creating the potential for large hail to be the primary
threat...with a secondary threat of damaging wind. At the same
time...precipitable water values nearing 1.5 inches were feeding
these storms with 1-2 inch/hr rain rates. In response...a narrow
swath of heavy rain increasing the potential for some localized
flash flooding was possible over far Eastern Oklahoma into
Northwest Arkansas. Additional rainfall of a half inch to locally
over 1.5 inches will be possible through this morning within the
current Flood Watch area. Thus...have extended the Flood Watch
until 15z to account for latest trends of forecast storm coverage
this morning. The current Severe Thunderstorm Watch also runs
until 15z.

Through this morning...ongoing storm coverage is forecast to
continue across far Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas as
the cold front continues to slowly sag southeast through the CWA.
Severe and also heavy rainfall potentials will remain possible
through mid morning. By mid afternoon...the boundary is forecast
to be across far Southeast Oklahoma with the greater storm
coverage shifting into Southeast Oklahoma...closer to the
boundary. There will remain a limited severe potential
along/south of the front in Southeast Oklahoma before the front
slides into Northeast Texas late afternoon.

Behind the cold front...gusty northerly winds and temps only
warming into the 50s/low 60s are forecast for much of the CWA. Far
Southeast Oklahoma...near the Red River...could warm into the 70s
before the front clears the CWA this afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Friday)
Issued at 408 AM CDT Sat Apr 16 2022

This evening and overnight tonight...rain and thunderstorm chances
will continue to be possible as a shortwave approaches the region
from the west. The greater thunderstorm potential looks to be
across Southeast Oklahoma this evening before the surface frontal
boundary pushes far enough south of the CWA and the 850-mb front
loses definition. Shower and thunderstorm chances finally begin to
taper off during the day Sunday from west to east as the shortwave
moves through the region. The wave and associated precipitation
look to exit by early Sunday evening. Behind the departing
wave...cloud cover looks to scatter out with decreasing surface
winds. This will allow for temps to fall into the 30s and 40s for
Monday morning.

Monday continues to look to be a dry day with breezy northeasterly
winds. Gusty southerly winds quickly return Tuesday ahead of
another shortwave progged to move into the Plains Wednesday. Latest
model solutions are indicating that an associated frontal boundary
stalls to the northwest before reaching the CWA Wednesday...while
previous runs...24-hrs ago...were pushing the boundary through
the region. Either way...thunderstorm chances will become possible
again Tuesday night and Wednesday as the shortwave moves into the
Plains. Some storm chances may remain possible into Thursday
depending on timing and details of the shortwave. At the far end
of the forecast...a ridge looks to develop late week with temps
potentially warming back into the 70s/80s.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1235 AM CDT Sat Apr 16 2022

Cold front currently located just south of I-44 early this morning
will continue pushing slowly south overnight. Elevated showers/storms
will likely become more widespread as low level jet axis shifts
south to near I-40 by 12z. IFR conditions are likely in the stronger
storms with lingering showers Sunday morning behind the front.
Otherwise, conditions will begin to improve Sunday afternoon
across NE OK/NW AR with VFR conditions expected as ceiling heights
rise as drier air filters in from the north.

Strong to severe thunderstorms remained ongoing across portions of
far eastern Oklahoma and also northwest Arkansas early this
morning in response to a slow moving cold front over the region.
Large hail will remain the primary threat with a secondary threat
of damaging wind. Periods of heavy rainfall will also remain
possible with rain rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour in the stronger
storms. A Flood Watch remains in effect for far eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas until 10 AM.

The cold front is forecast to push into far southeast Oklahoma
this afternoon and south of the Red River late afternoon. As the
boundary, both at the surface and a loft, move through the region
additional shower and thunderstorm chances will be possible
across parts of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas today.
Instability ahead of the cold front will allow for a limited
severe potential over parts of southeast Oklahoma this afternoon.
Severe potentials should weaken and push south of the Red River
late afternoon and early evening.

Behind the cold front, gusty northerly winds and cooler
temperatures are expected today. Some drier air moving into Osage
and Pawnee counties of northeast Oklahoma could allow for a
limited fire weather danger during the afternoon hours.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
MONDAY...No Hazards.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Very High Fire
   							Weather Potential...High Wind Potential.
FRIDAY...High Wind Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Shower and thunderstorm chances remain possible tonight and
Sunday as a low pressure system moves across the region. The
greater thunderstorm potential looks to be across southeast
Oklahoma tonight, though severe weather is not currently
anticipated tonight. Precipitation chances finally begin to taper
off from west to east during the day Sunday and exit by Sunday
evening with the departing low pressure system. Behind the exiting
system, cloud cover is forecast to scatter out with weakening
winds. This will allow for temps to fall into the 30s and 40s for
Monday morning.

Gusty southerly winds and localized fire weather concerns return
Tuesday. Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase once again
through the middle part of next week in response to another low
pressure disturbance moving through the region.
