Thunderstorm Wind in Washita County, Oklahoma

A barn was destroyed, a roof was damaged and trees were blown down near the intersection of County Roads 2420 and 1110. The location is approximate, and the event time is estimated from radar observations.

While the upper air pattern across Oklahoma and north Texas was benign (from a thunderstorm perspective) for much of the 5th, a cluster of occasionally intense thunderstorms tracked along a quasi-stationary boundary from the eastern Texas Panhandle through portions of western and south-central Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening hours. This activity initiated along a mid-level front within a zone of strong isentropic ascent. Thunderstorm wind damage, including a swath of significant damage across portions of southern McClain and northern Garvin Counties, and large hail were noted episodically with this activity.
