What the National Weather Service wrote
The tornado developed approximately 1.5 miles south-southwest of Dale as indicated by a Tornado Debris Signature in this location, although this area was not accessible to the survey team. The tornado moved north-northeast damaging trees and a service station canopy just north of Interstate 40. A barn west of Dale was also damaged.
The wider storm
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.
Began near Dale (35.3680, -97.0630).
