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.

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1227 AM CDT Sat Apr 4 2026
- Strong to severe thunderstorm potential to continue into early
Saturday morning with increasing heavy rainfall potential.
- Cooler and drier conditions Sunday into early next week.
- Unsettled pattern returns late next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Through Saturday)
Issued at 1131 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
The severe weather potential has ramped up over the last hour or
so with the intensification of the line segment along the cold
front in far northeast Oklahoma and the arrival of a complex that
developed earlier in the evening to the west in parts of western
and central Oklahoma. The latter has a history of reported brief
tornadoes, as well as severe winds, and is just now moving into
parts of east central Oklahoma along I-40. Both effective shear
and instability drop off east of Highway 75, with potential for
the severity to decrease some once the storms move east of the
highway. Rainfall rates in the existing storms have been greater
than an inch an hour per mesonet observations, reinforcing the
earlier thoughts that the heavy rain and flash flood threat would
increase late this evening and into early Saturday morning.
Okfuskee and Okmulgee counties have been added to the Flood Watch
given these observations.
Cooler and drier air will move in behind the front from the north
leading to most of the rainfall shifting south and east of the
area by midday Saturday. A general decrease in cloudiness and
below normal temperatures should be expected for the afternoon
hours.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 1131 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
A more settled pattern will prevail for the remainder of the
weekend and into the early to middle part of next week. Surface
high pressure will linger across the region from Saturday night
into Monday, leading to a couple of chilly mornings on Sunday and
Monday. Maximum relative humidities and lighter wind speeds both
mornings may lead to some frost potential that may require an
advisory on a future shift. The high moves away, leading to a
return to southerly winds and warmer temperatures Monday into
Tuesday. The warming trend will continue into Wednesday.
Toward the end of next week, the flow aloft becomes more
southwesterly as an upper level low moves toward the southwestern
United States. This will increase the potential for showers and
thunderstorms once again, as moisture increases and a front
approaches from the north and lingers across the Southern and
Central Plains. The main upper level system looks to make a slow
approach toward the area, leading to potential for multiple rounds
of showers and thunderstorms during the period.
&&
.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1227 AM CDT Sat Apr 4 2026
VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period at the
northeast Oklahoma sites. A line of thunderstorms will affect the
southeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas sites during the first
few hours of the forecast period with MVFR/IFR conditions
expected. MVFR ceilngs and light showers will continue into
Saturday morning at those sites before the rain ends and
conditions improve to VFR. North to northwest winds will gust near
20 knots at times during the day Saturday.
