NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 8, 1:44 PM CST, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 244 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE CAP WEAKENS ACROSS THE AREA. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME BRIEFLY SEVERE. LOCALLY GENERATED WINDEX GRIDS SUGGEST THAT MICROBURST WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. THIS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE AROUND SUNSET. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE THAT OCCURRED LAST NIGHT. PERSISTENCE WILL ALSO BE THE RULE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH MAYBE A DEGREE OR TWO VARIANCE EACH AFTERNOON. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON TUESDAY AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THERE IS SOME HOPE FOR A COOL DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. WILL INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
