The wider storm

An intensifying upper storm system instigated a period of severe thunderstorms across much of the WFO Norman Forecast area during the evening of the 1st. Storm development occurred both along a quasi-stationary boundary across northern Oklahoma and along an accelerating Pacific Front from far western Oklahoma into western-north Texas. A mix of supercells and a well-developed quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) yielded reports of large to very large hail and wind damage across portions of the area. A brief tornado was also documented in far eastern Wilbarger County in Texas.

Began near Knox City (33.4455, -99.8649).
