EF0 tornado in Cleveland County, Oklahoma

An NWS storm survey found that a tornado touched down near 60th Avenue NW and Robinson Street in northwest Norman. Damage was observed to trees and fencing with damage direction indicating a small vortex. This area was embedded within a large swath of wind damage from the storm's rear-flank downdraft that extended from this area to near Max Westheimer Airport.

A potent Spring storm system took shape across the Southern and Central Plains. Strong surface cyclogenesis took shape during the day, allowing ample moisture to return northward with strong southerly flow. At the same time, a strong upper level shortwave trough allowed strong mid level westerlies to overspread much of the Plains region. With large instability and wind shear, the stage was set for widespread severe storm development. Storms initiated within the open warm sector ahead of the dryline. The first storm developed near Lawton and moved northeast along I-44 into parts of central Oklahoma, resulting in several tornadoes and large hail. Additional supercells spawned tornadoes across northern Oklahoma, and the slow moving nature of storms lead to several occurrences of flash flooding. Storms continued well into the night.
