The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
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, 7.9 hours before the alert went out and 155 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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1216 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1214 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 - Lower shower and storm chances Wednesday though confidence is low. - Unsettled pattern and plentiful moisture return to maintain daily shower and thunderstorm chances beginning Thursday through the weekend and into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Wednesday) Issued at 1155 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 Ongoing convection across E OK and NW AR is primarily being aided by the slow moving remnant MCV that is drifting southward through E OK. Drier low level air is attempting to advection westward into the local region but is making slow progress. While the bulk of guidance focuses higher rain chances west of the area on Wednesday the forecast confidence is low and overall coverage by afternoon by again trend higher. Slow storm motions have allowed for locally heavy rains and this will remain a concern given the weak steering flow. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 1155 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 A brief lull in rain chances is currently forecast for Wednesday night before the pattern returns to persistent subtle forcing within a plume of rich moisture. Mid level trough makes slow progress across the Plains Thursday into Friday with the southern extent of this trough drawing an upper low northward across N Mexico and into far W TX by Saturday. Forcing with the slow moving trough passage will foster increasing shower and thunderstorm coverage Thursday through Friday while the aforementioned upper low lifts northeastward across the region Saturday through Monday. This pattern evolution coupled with plentiful moisture will maintain daily shower and thunderstorm chances into early next week. The overall flow aloft will remain weak and any severe potential will continue to be isolated and locally heavy rainfall and flooding concerns will remain the primary concern. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1214 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 Scattered showers and thunderstorms remain possible overnight for all terminals, but are more likely across eastern Oklahoma. Any storms will be capable of strong gusty winds, heavy rain, and lightning. These storms will briefly lower visibility and ceilings, but in general ceilings will remain above 3 kft. A few additional showers or storms may occur Wednesday afternoon, but did not include them in the TAFs as the probability is too low to be specific at this time. Winds will mostly remain light and out of the east to southeast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
