Event narrative

Three-inch tree limbs were blown down. The report was relayed through mPING. The event time is estimated from radar observations.

Wider weather episode

Numerous severe thunderstorms impacted portions of central and southern Oklahoma and western-north Texas early on the morning of the 2nd. Synoptically, this convective episode was driven by the approach of a weak shortwave trough rounding the periphery of a broader upper system across the Central and Northern Plains. Very strong elevated instability and sufficient wind shear promoted organized thunderstorm clusters and eventually a semi-organized line across the aforementioned region producing large hail and thunderstorm wind damage.
