An upper level trough lifted northeast across the Middle Red River Valley into Eastern Oklahoma during the daytime hours on May 29th, which helped drive a weak surface boundary southeast into portions of North Texas, Southern and Eastern Oklahoma. Sufficient shear and moderate instability were in place across the broad warm sector south of this surface boundary, as large scale forcing increased during the afternoon ahead of the trough, such that scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed over Southeast Oklahoma and portions of Northeast Texas. Some of these storms produced damaging winds which downed trees and damaged structures, while also producing a couple of isolated tornadoes across portions of Wood and Southeast Franklin Counties before weakening during the mid-evening hours.
