EF2 tornado in Canadian County, Oklahoma

Numerous chasers and spotters observed a tornado that touched down just southwest of SW 15th Street and Banner Road and moved northeast dissipating in far western Oklahoma City just southeast of Page Airport, or just northeast of Northwest 10th and Cimarron Road. A few houses suffered significant roof damage or had windows blown in, and a few outbuildings were damaged, but the damage was primarily to trees and power poles along the path.

For a while, this was the easternmost of three simultaneous tornadoes occurring in Canadian County.

Significant severe weather occurred across portions of western into central Oklahoma from the late afternoon of the 19th through early morning on the 20th. Aloft, a strong and compact upper wave moved across portions of Kansas during the afternoon. While most severe weather outcomes were expected further north of the WFO Norman area, a few supercell thunderstorms developed along a trailing dryline near the 100th meridian. This included a powerful supercell thunderstorm that moved from Hemphill County, Texas (WFO Amarillo, Texas) into portions of Roger Mills/Custer/Washita/Blaine/Canadian/Oklahoma counties during the afternoon into late evening hours. This thunderstorm was responsible for thirteen (13) tornadoes, including significant tornadoes west of Custer City and near Yukon, Oklahoma. Significant damaging wind gusts/damage and large to very large hail also occurred with this thunderstorm. Additional hail-producing supercells developed into portions of northwestern Oklahoma during the evening, with one becoming briefly tornadic during the late evening across Woods County, Oklahoma.
