EF0 tornado in Osage County, Oklahoma

This is the first segment of a two-segment tornado. The tornado developed just west of the Osage/Washington County line, between the 2700 Road and the 2600 Road. It moved east-northeast, snapping large tree limbs near the county line. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in this segment of the tornado was 75 to 80 mph. The tornado continued into Washington County.

Severe thunderstorms developed along a dry line over central and western Oklahoma during the afternoon of the 1st, as a strong upper level disturbance translated into the Southern Plains. The storms moved through eastern Oklahoma during the late afternoon and evening hours. Moderately strong instability combined with strong deep layer shear to support the development of some supercell thunderstorms, which produced several tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts. The storms evolved into a squall line that also produced damaging wind gusts during the late evening.
