Event narrative

Strong thunderstorm wind damaged the roofs of homes, uprooted trees, and snapped numerous large tree limbs in a broad swath from northwest of Wainwright to east of Wainwright.

Wider weather episode

Severe thunderstorms developed over northeastern Oklahoma during the early evening of the 21st, as a cold front moved into the area. Very strong instability combined with very strong deep layer wind shear resulted in the development of some supercell thunderstorms, which moved east across much of northeastern Oklahoma during the evening. These thunderstorms produced large hail up to three inches in diameter, two tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts.
