EF0 tornado in Johnston County, Oklahoma

This tornado was a continuation of the tornado that began 3 NNW of Madill in Marshall County. It continued to produce tree damage after crossing Lake Texoma into southern Marshall County.

An upper level trough moved onshore along the west coast on the 13th, and continued east toward the plains. The storm system strengthened as it moved east of the Rocky mountains, eventually becoming a major storm system, with blizzard conditions on the west and north sides of it, and powerful thunderstorms to the south and east. A surface low pressure moved from the Texas panhandle into southern Kansas, with a dry line extending to the south. The dry line moved quickly east before slowing to the east of I-35 in Oklahoma. Dew point temperatures reached the middle 60s east of the dry line, with bone-dry conditions advecting in on the back side of the dry line. The cap that was in place was all but erased by mid afternoon, and thunderstorms quickly developed over eastern Oklahoma. The wind shear in place was more than sufficient for rotating thunderstorms, with most storms become supercells. Very large hail and wind damage was common early in the thunderstorm life cycle. A weak tornado developed northwest of Stroud, with other storms showing signs of rotation by late afternoon. Additional tornadoes developed through the early evening, with a couple of them doing damage. The tornadoes were in addition to the hail up to softball size. By late evening, at least five tornadoes were reported, with one of them rated and EF-3.
