Several outflow boundaries were located over western and southwest Oklahoma. Strong instability developed near these boundaries by mid to late afternoon, with widespread showers and thunderstorms developing. Several thunderstorms became severe, but moved little through the early evening due to weak upper level winds. Jackson county seemed to take the worst of the thunderstorms, with several rounds of hail and strong winds reported. The slow movement of the thunderstorms and very heavy rain also caused some water problems on area roadways, with several closed for a couple of hours. The thunderstorms finally weakened and moved off to the south by the evening hours. Monetary damages were estimated.
