The episode as NWS TSA wrote it up.
A slow-moving low pressure trough moved from the Rockies into the Plains during the 9th and 10th. Several disturbances rotating through this trough translated across the Southern Plains during this period. With very moist and unstable air in place over the region, multiple periods of thunderstorms occurred. Locally heavy rainfall as well as severe weather was prevalent across eastern Oklahoma.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at May 9, 1:59 PM CST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
259 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015
.DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX CONTINUES TO PUSH SLOWLY EAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA/WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING LIKELY ONGOING ACROSS SOUTHERN PUSHMATAHA AND CHOCTAW
COUNTIES AS THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN CONTINUE TO MOVE
OVER THE SAME AREAS. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY REMAINS JUST SOUTH OF THE
RED RIVER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED
GIVEN THE LOCALLY ENHANCED TORNADO POTENTIAL NEAR BOUNDARY.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE SPREADING
INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY IS SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW SEVERE
STORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WHERE LIFTED INDICES
HAVE FALLEN TO AROUND -6 DEG C WITH MODEST SURFACE HEATING.
MAIN THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY INTO
SUNDAY AS THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN REDEVELOP AHEAD/ALONG
COLD FRONT SUNDAY. THE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
SUNDAY EVENING BEFORE FINALLY SHIFTING EAST LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. AN
ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WHICH WILL LIKELY CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING.
A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE RAIN IS EXPECTED MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEHIND
COLD FRONT. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST MID WEEK WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RAMPING BACK
UP WED/THU. LOW RAIN CHANCES WILL PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS
A MOIST AIR-MASS REMAINS IN PLACE UNDER STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT.

DISCUSSION...
HEAVY RAIN...FLASH FLOOD...AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL EXIST
AGAIN TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
ARKANSAS.
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTH
TEXAS. THE GREATEST CONCERN WITH THESE STORMS IS THE SIGNIFICANT
FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL DUE TO ALREADY SATURATED ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION...LOCALLY HIGH INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL SUPPORT A LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON AS THESE STORMS PUSH THROUGH FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF
OKLAHOMA...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD EASTERN OKLAHOMA BY
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO STORMS THAT ARE
DEVELOPING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON IN PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE OVERALL SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH THESE STORMS
IS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION...WITH EXISTING CLOUD COVER AND OVERALL
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE SERVING TO KEEP INSTABILITY LOW...ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40...POSSIBLY OFFSETTING THE
INCREASING WIND FIELDS THIS AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS COULD
AGAIN BE SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WHERE THE GREATEST RISK OF HIGH IMPACT
SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXIST...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
TORNADOES AND BASEBALL SIZE HAIL.
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS
EVENING NEAR THE DRYLINE ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND INTO CENTRAL
TEXAS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD AFFECT MAINLY PARTS OF EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH PRIMARILY A HEAVY RAIN AND
FLASH FLOOD THREAT.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK POSSIBLE.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING
WILL BE LIKELY SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...AS THE UPPER LOW
EJECTS INTO THE PLAINS AND A COLD FRONT FINALLY PUSHES THROUGH THE
REGION. SUBSTANTIAL FLOODING LOOKS PROBABLE WITH WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 4 INCH RANGE EXPECTED...ON TOP OF THE
ALREADY SATURATED SOILS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS. THE THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN WILL
TAPER OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS
DRY AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT.
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN TOWARD THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK AS SOUTHERLY WINDS TRANSPORT MOISTURE BACK INTO THE
REGION. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE LOW NEXT WEEK AS THE FLOW
ALOFT WEAKENS OVER OUR REGION.
