Episode Narrative Numerous severe thunderstorms impacted portions of central and southern Oklahoma and western-north Texas early on the morning of the 2nd. Synoptically, this convective episode was driven by the approach of a weak shortwave trough rounding the periphery of a broader upper system across the Central and Northern Plains. Very strong elevated instability and sufficient wind shear promoted organized thunderstorm clusters and eventually a semi-organized line across the aforementioned region, producing large hail, thunderstorm wind damage and a tornado. Heavy rainfall contributed to flash flooding, particularly across parts of southern Oklahoma that continued to be impacted by prolonged river and stream flooding.
Event Narrative This tornado damaged the roof of a mobile home and damaged an outbuilding near US Highway 277 north of Cookietown.
