The wider storm
Another widespread thunderstorm and severe weather period impacted the southern one-half of Oklahoma and adjacent north Texas on the evening of the 25th. This event included several supercell thunderstorms across this area, including a cyclic tornadic supercell that moved in areas south of Wichita Falls, Texas into Archer and Clay Counties. Several other (generally brief) tornadoes occurred with storms across south-central and southeastern Oklahoma, though signal of residual inhibition and numerous storm interactions on the cool side of a quasi-stationary boundary generally limited low-level mesocyclone organization and longevity. Large hail and sporadic wind damage also occurred with storms across the region.
Began near Bellevue (33.6835, -97.9934).
