EF1 tornado in Grant County, Oklahoma

This tornado developed south of Wakita and a mobile home was unroofed and at least two buildings were destroyed along Harper Road. A number of power poles were damaged along State Highway 11 as the tornado moved northeast. Although the last damage was noted by the survey team along State Highway 11, a storm chaser observed the tornado at least a couple of miles farther northeast and the tornado is estimated to have dissipated about 5 miles southeast of Wakita.

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. In addition to several tornadoes, including a deadly tornado west of Fairview in Major County, large hail and eventually damaging wind gusts were observed with severe convection across the region.
