An upper level storm system, initially over the southwestern United States, approached the area and sent various disturbances across the region. With ample moisture, instability, and increased wind shear, thunderstorms initiated along a dryline and progressed towards the northeast and east. A couple of the storms became supercells, which were the cause of the 4 reported tornadoes on this date. The only tornado that encoutered damage indicators occurred in Perryton. This weak and small tornado received a rating of EF-0 with estimated wind speeds up to 75 mph. The longest tracked tornado, which occurred north of Gruver, was caught on video by multiple storm chasers with a path length approaching 1.9 miles. In addition to the tornados, these supercells produced large hail that in some instances were near or  exceeded baseball size.
