Tornado in Beaver County, Oklahoma

This is the first tornado this storm produced as it intensified. The tornado condensed briefly multiple times along this path. The track was estimated using eye witness reports, pictures, and

videos together with radar data. The tornado remained in open country and didn't encounter any damage indicators to allow for a rating or determine the exact path. Width was estimated based on video.

High pressure over New Mexico helped trigger new storms off the higher terrain. These storms then moved to the south and east into the combined Panhandles. With favorable instability and wind shear, these storms became strong to severe with the main hazards being large hail and damaging winds. There were some supercells that did produce tornadoes across portions of the eastern combined Panhandles as well as high end wind damage from straight line winds. Given sufficient moisture in place, slow moving storms or storms that moved over the same locations, a few communities in the eastern combined Panhandles did receive heavy rainfall that resulted in flash flooding.
