The radar

The Tulsa radar (KINX), 109 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 09:11 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Norman, OK (KOUN), launched 00:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 135 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at May 2, 2:34 AM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

Issued at 234 AM CDT Thu May 2 2025
Elevated strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall continue through this morning. Flash flood/flood threat continues across portions of east central Oklahoma.
Drier and cool conditions expected this weekend.
Active/stormy weather pattern resumes next week, with heavy rainfall probable, especially late Monday night into Tuesday.

  - Elevated strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall
    continue through this morning. Flash flood/flood threat

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Fri May 2 2025

A strong thunderstorm complex continues to move eastward across
OK early this morning. Meanwhile, storms ahead of this complex
have developed and organized along a surface boundary in southeast
OK and west-cenral AR, aided by rich low-level moisture and warm
air advection. Storms are also forming along and just north of a
slow-moving synoptic cold front that is currently draped near the
I-44 corridor. The cold front will gradually push south and east
of the forecast area as the morning progresses, likely helped by
the eastward-advancing thunderstorm complex. The threat of strong
to severe thunderstorms will persist through the remainder of the
morning. There continues to be a limited tornado threat ahead
(southeast) of the frontal boundary, mainly in far southeast OK
where dewpoints are in the mid-upper 60s. The tornado threat will
decrease as the morning progresses and should dissipate completely
as the frontal boundary/thunderstorm complex and surface boundary
collide. The main severe hazards through the rest of the morning
will be damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail, and heavy
rainfall that may lead to flooding/flash flooding. In general, 1
to 3 inches of rain is expected to fall across much of the
forecast area through the morning, locally higher amounts
possible. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 7 AM
across much of southeast OK. Additionally, a Flood Watch remains
in effect for Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Muskogee, and McIntosh counties
in OK until 1 PM this afternoon.

Consensus in hi-res model guidance suggests the main thunderstorm
complex will shift east of the forecast area between 9AM-11AM
this morning. However, showers and thunderstorms will likely
linger through the afternoon and possibly into the evening as
another mid-level vorticity lobe and a secondary, and more
obvious, frontal boundary pushes through the forecast area this
afternoon. Latest HRRR run indicates MUCAPE values jumping up to
near 1000 J/kg along this afternoon boundary. Given that 0-6 km
shear values between 50-60 knots and decently steep mid-level
lapse rates (7-7.5 C/km) are in place, strong to marginally severe
thunderstorms appear possible, especially along the frontal
boundary and where any existing outflow boundaries remain. This is
assuming the worked over atmosphere from this morning can
destabilize enough by this afternoon. Will continue to monitor
trends through the daytime.

Temperatures this afternoon will be abnormally cool for early May
as precipitation chances remain intact and cloud cover remains
thick through the daytime. All precipitation chances should end by
early-mid evening, with drier air filtering in behind the passing
frontal boundary. As such, expect much cooler and drier weather
tonight, with overnight low temperatures dropping into the 40s and
lower-50s.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Fri May 2 2025

Main mid-level trough axis and surface frontal boundary
responsible for the stormy weather this morning will shift east of
the area by the start of the long-term period. Ridging and an
Omega Block will build over eastern OK and northwest AR this
weekend, resulting in mainly pleasant and dry weather through
Monday. Temperatures will run slightly below normal for early
May. Highs through Monday will range from the upper-60s to mid-
70s each day, with morning low temperatures dropping into the 40s
for most locations through Monday morning.

The Omega Block will break down early-mid next week as another
powerful mid/upper-level low digs and builds the Four Corner
region by Monday evening/night. Latest model guidance has unsettled
weather returning to eastern OK and northwest AR by late Monday
night or early Tuesday morning. Guidance shows the upper-level
low spins and dances over the central CONUS, getting sandwiched
between two ridges on either side of it. This will likely produce
multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms through much of the
upcoming workweek. It still appears that although there will be
some severe threat associated with the storm system, the bigger
threat and concern will be additional heavy rainfall for the area,
especially late Monday night through Tuesday. It probably won't
rain all day every day next week, with rainfall chances and
precipitation amounts lowering Wednesday and Thursday, but
periods of scattered showers and thunderstorms will still exist.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1209 AM CDT Fri May 2 2025

Ongoing VFR conditions will deteriorate overnight with widespread
showers and thunderstorms expected across much of eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas. The heaviest rains will occur through the
early morning hours with scattered showers and isolated storms
lingering across SE OK into western AR into late morning or early
afternoon. Prevailing MVFR ceilings will expand across much of the
southern terminals with lesser confidence in low ceilings further
north. Improving flight conditions are expected area wide late in
the day into the evening as drier air spreads southward.

much of Eastern Oklahoma.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...East Central and Southeast Oklahoma.
	ONSET...After Midnight.

DISCUSSION...
A cluster of thunderstorms is expected to develop after midnight
tonight across western Oklahoma, advancing into areas mainly south
of Highway 412 late tonight into Friday morning. There is an
elevated severe weather threat with these storms, with damaging
winds being the primary threat. There is a low threat for both
large hail and tornadoes as well, especially in the first hour or
two after storms initially develop.

Locally heavy rainfall of 1 and 2 inches and locally higher is
forecast across east central and southeast Oklahoma. Much of this
rainfall is expected to fall in parts of southeast Oklahoma that
did not receive the higher rainfall totals over the past couple of
days. However, concerns continue that the northern edge of the
higher rainfall totals may overlap with some of the already
saturated areas in east central Oklahoma near Interstate 40, which
would lead to a locally higher flash flood threat.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...No Hazards.
MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Storms are forecast to be ongoing in southeast Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas Friday morning with a waning severe weather risk. Through
the day Friday, shower and storm chances become more likely south
of Interstate 40, where a surface boundary currently resides.
Precipitation is expected to taper off and exit Friday night.

After a quiet weekend, storm chances will return late Monday
night and continue for the remainder of next week in a more
unsettled weather pattern. Additional heavy rainfall potential
also returns next week.
