EF0 tornado in Beaver County, Oklahoma

Most of the tornado path was estimated by triangulating the location using chaser video/pictures and utilizing radar data. Toward the end of the life cycle of the tornado, after becoming rain wrapped and weakening, the tornado did encounter some damage indicators. Damage included large tree limbs which were snapped and one uprooted tree, all of which were around an old dilapidated homestead. Adjacent power lines were not damaged and this also provided clues to the intensity toward the end of the life-cycle. Radar imagery and video suggests the tornado was potentially stronger earlier in the track while in open grasslands. Maximum width was also estimated using photos and video. The maximum estimated wind speeds were 85mph.

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.
