EF1 tornado in Seminole County, Oklahoma

This tornado began near the NS 3510 County Road and EW 1140 County Road intersection. The tornado produced tree and power line damage as it moved northeast. EF1 tree damage was noted along EW 1130 Road, just south of Interstate 40, where large tree limbs were broken off. The tornado then crossed Interstate 40 just east of the Seminole Rest Area and damage trees and fences near E1120 Road and S354 Road before dissipating.

A high-amplitude (closed) upper storm system moved eastward across the Rockies on the 3rd and fostered a severe convective episode across portions of Oklahoma and western-north Texas. Initial thunderstorm development during the afternoon focused along a cold front from southwest into north-central Oklahoma, with a mix of multicell and supercell storm modes producing hail. Later in the evening, an intense complex of thunderstorms moved from west-central into east-central Oklahoma, including across the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area. This cluster produced swaths of damaging winds and several tornadoes. By the late evening, increasing frontal thunderstorms moved towards the Red River, producing intermittent wind gusts/damage and flooding.
