Very moist and unstable air spread into eastern Oklahoma ahead of a strong upper level storm system and associated cold front. This moist and unstable air combined with strong wind shear that was present in the atmosphere resulted in long-lived and organized thunderstorm structures, including supercell thunderstorms. These thunderstorms developed and tracked east-northeast through the afternoon and evening hours, generally moving across the same areas over a period of several hours. These storms produced widespread severe weather, including four tornadoes in eastern Oklahoma. A line of storms then developed along the cold front and moved across eastern Oklahoma in the early morning hours of the 8th.
