Hail — Mccurtain, Oklahoma

2025-04-04 · near Eagletown, Mccurtain, Oklahoma

Event narrative

Hen egg size hail reported just north of Eagletown.

Wider weather episode

A stationary front extended across portions of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas during the early morning hours on April 4th, but lifted north into Southeast Oklahoma and Western Arkansas during the day. This was in response to an intensifying low level jet that developed ahead of a large upper trough that extended from the Intermountain West into the Plains, which provided the necessary lift across the very warm, moist, and unstable air mass in place south of this front across much of the region. As a result, numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the area during the afternoon and evening, which produced damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated long-track tornado in Southern and Central McCurtain County Oklahoma.
