Strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the evening hours of the 6th over north central Oklahoma, along a cold front that moved into the area. A very moist and moderately unstable air mass was in place over eastern Oklahoma ahead of these storms. The line of thunderstorms moved east across eastern Oklahoma during the evening hours of the 6th and early morning hours of the 7th, producing hail up to half dollar size and damaging wind. Other strong to severe thunderstorms developed well ahead of the cold front across east central Oklahoma. Strong wind shear that was present in the atmosphere over the area allowed some of these storms to develop into supercell thunderstorms, which produced a tornado in Adair County and hail up to golfball size.
