2025-07-31 · near Antlers, Pushmataha, Oklahoma

Event narrative

Strong thunderstorm wind damaged the awning of a gas station, snapped large tree limbs, and blew down power lines.

Wider weather episode

Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed across southeastern Oklahoma during the late afternoon and evening of the 31st, along and ahead of slow-moving cold front that stretched across the region. The atmosphere ahead of the front became very unstable during the afternoon, and this instability combined with very weak wind shear resulted in intense, but short-lived thunderstorms, the strongest of which produced damaging outflow wind.
