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 Jul 10, 11:16 AM CST, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1216 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2019 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Scattered thunderstorms could potentially impact all TAF sites through the afternoon, with chances diminishing toward 00Z. Expect gusty winds and brief MVFR cigs/vsbys in and near storms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1100 AM CDT Wed Jul 10 2019/ ..UPDATE... DISCUSSION... We're continuing to monitor an area of showers/thunderstorms moving gradually south/southeast across southeast KS. This activity will be moving into portions of northeast OK over the next few hours, and we'll also see additional scattered development across northeast OK/northwest AR into the early afternoon. Low-shear/high instability (MLCAPES 3500-4000 J/KG) environment will be favorable for a few downburst wind gusts, with cold-pool interactions eventually allowing storm clusters to surge south into southeast OK/western AR through the remainder of the afternoon. Pockets of heavy rainfall will provide some relief to hot/humid conditions, but will leave existing heat advisory as is. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
