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 Jun 26, 2:13 PM CST, 21 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 313 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 .DISCUSSION... A well-defined MCV located over central Missouri this afternoon has resulted in scattered thunderstorms within axis of roughly 4000 MLCAPE across northern AR into southeast KS this afternoon. Still a possibility of some additional development through the afternoon within this zone, as well as potential for a few showers or storms to lift north out of Texas. For the most part this activity will wane before 00z, and forecast will not include any mentionable first period POP. Aside from current activity, the pattern over the next several days will become increasingly summer-like as upper ridge amplifies over the southern and central plains. Net result will be seasonably hot and humid conditions with thunderstorm chances tied mainly to diurnally-driven storms over the higher terrain. By early next week, indications are that a relative weakness in the ridge may develop and result in some uptick in thunderstorm coverage and a slight downward trend in temperatures. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
