The wider storm
On the evening of June 12th, an outflow boundary extended from Norman to Holdenville, with a dry line south of the Red River over western north Texas. A strong cap suppressed thunderstorm development through much of the day, but finally weakened enough by late afternoon and early evening for thunderstorms to develop. Thunderstorms crossed into south central Oklahoma, producing hail up to half-dollar size through mid evening before weakening. Thunderstorms also formed along the outflow boundary across central Oklahoma and rapidly became severe, producing an EF1 tornado in Norman.
Began near Norman (35.2130, -97.4000).
