Scattered severe thunderstorms impacted portions of western and northern Oklahoma from the late evening of the 5th into early morning hours of the 6th. This activity developed in the vicinity of a dryline as a deep upper trough began to establish across the Four Coners. As a nocturnal low-level jet strengthened after sunset, a pair of cyclic tornadic thunderstorms emerged from the eastern Texas Panhandle into northern Oklahoma.
