EF1 tornado in Kiowa County, Oklahoma

This tornado was initially observed by storm chasers including an off-duty meteorologist from the Storm Prediction Center and was visible for a couple of minutes before becoming wrapped in rain. The rain-wrapped tornado likely continued generally east-southeast and destroyed a trailer and damaged trees at the Saddle Mountain cemetery.

An unseasonably warm and moist airmass was in place across the region ahead of a powerful upper wave moving out of the 4 corners region. This led to the development of numerous severe thunderstorms across Oklahoma and Texas during the afternoon and evening of the 10th. Several tornadoes were reported, along with hail larger than baseballs that impacted Norman, OK for the second time in six months, leading to millions of dollars in damages once again to homes, cars, and businesses.
