Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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 tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Apr 30, 12:28 PM CDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Issued at 244 AM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025
  • A couple more rounds of showers and thunderstorms will impact the area through this evening, bringing severe weather and heavy rainfall. Flash flooding and main-stem river flooding are occurring.
  • Additional storm chances return Thursday night into Friday morning, mainly across central and southern Oklahoma.

...New AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 244 AM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025

  - A couple more rounds of showers and thunderstorms will impact
    the area through this evening, bringing severe weather and
    heavy rainfall. Flash flooding and main-stem river flooding
    are occurring.

  - Additional storm chances return Thursday night into Friday
    morning, mainly across central and southern Oklahoma.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1057 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

The overall forecast is largely on track, save for the slightly
slower progression of the line going through southeast and east
central Oklahoma at the moment. POPs have been adjusted through
late afternoon using the latest short-term blended consensus,
which features the slower eastward progression. The main concerns
with the line revolve around additional flash flood potential, as
well as potential for QLCS tornadoes. Given the current
orientation of shear vectors, portions of the line moving more
north-northeastward will be more susceptible to tornadoes than
those exhibiting more easterly movement. Positive 0-3km CAPE
values are confined to the area south of I-40, making this portion
of the forecast area more susceptible to the tornado threat. The
surface boundary is currently located from northern Pittsburg
County eastward to near the Haskell/Latimer county line and across
northern LeFlore and Sebastian counties. Portions of the line that
intersect this boundary will also be susceptible to local
enhancements in the line into the afternoon. Regarding the flood
threat, the heaviest rains this afternoon look to remain south of
the heavy rain footprint from the overnight period. Updated
products for these adjustments already out, but expect additional
updates into the afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 244 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

An extensive MCS continues to lift northeast over the forecast
area, with the most convectively active portion on its eastern
flank over western AR. Rain and storms that have developed on its
southern and western flank will spread back into the region
between now and daybreak. Finally, storms are increasing in
coverage over the TX South Plains, ahead of an advancing upper
trough. This activity is expected to organize into yet another MCS
that recent CAM runs continue to show sweeping east across the
Red River vicinity and into SE OK-West Central AR later today,
with strong indications of severe weather potential. Multiple
rounds of storms have already dropped widespread 3 to 5 inch rains
basically from I-44 northward over the past 24 hours, with
spottier heavy rains south of there. Flash flood warnings are in
effect, and multiple main-stem rivers are either at flood or are
expected to flood. The heavier rains today should fall south of
I-44, with widespread 1 to 2 inch and locally heavier amounts
expected. Storms should shift east of the region by this evening,
bringing an end to the flash flood threat. The end time of the
going Flood Watch will likely be adjusted to end sooner based on
the latest trends.

A few spotty storms could develop late tonight across NE OK in
association with the passing of an upper wave, but are not
expected to pose a severe weather or heavy rain threat.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 244 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

A quick pattern transition is forecast by the models in the wake
of today's passing wave. Ridging builds over the western CONUS and
a downstream shortwave trough will dive southeast over the Plains
into Friday. In advance of the system, a band of showers and
storms is expected to sweep across central and southern OK, posing
a damaging wind threat. In the wake of this system, high pressure
will build into the area and will bring a quiet weekend.
Differences continue regarding the evolution of the pattern into
next week, with the EC showing an omega block over the CONUS with
our area sandwiched between 2 upper lows, while the GFS shows a
western CONUS upper low and more ridging over the eastern CONUS.
Nevertheless, rain/storm chances increase in both models toward
the middle of next week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1228 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Widespread shower and thunderstorm impacts, including periods of
IFR conditions are expected during the first 6 hours of the valid
TAF period in association with the MCS moving eastward across the
forecast area. Conditions will improve at the E OK sites before
additional IFR/MVFR ceilings develop overnight, persisting into
daybreak on Thursday. Fog will also likely be an issue given the
wet soils and calm conditions, with BVO/RVS expected to have the
greatest impact to visibility.
