A day after a damaging tornado event, several hours of strong winds developed over much of Oklahoma. The combination of a strong low pressure moving into the southeast United States, and a strong high pressure building south through plains caused very gusty winds, with numerous gusts over 60 mph reported over a large area. The sustained winds combined with the wind gusts caused some minor damage, with a couple of high profile vehicles overturned. The most numerous severe wind gusts occurred over western Oklahoma, although severe wind gusts were reported as far east as I-35. By the mid evening hours, the winds subsided somewhat, with wind gusts mostly in the 30s and 40s.
