Thunderstorms developed across northern Texas and eastern Oklahoma during the early morning hours of the 2nd, as a warm front approached the area from the south. The strongest storm produced damaging wind gusts in Choctaw County.
Thunderstorms redeveloped across portions of southeastern Oklahoma during the afternoon. Strong instability south of the warm front, combined with strong wind shear, supported an environment for supercell thunderstorms. One such storm produced a tornado and damaging wind in Le Flore County.
Another round of severe thunderstorms, which developed along the dry line across central Oklahoma during the afternoon, moved through eastern Oklahoma during the evening in the form of a squall line. The strongest storms within this line produced damaging wind gusts and large hail up to quarter size. A brief tornado also occurred in Cherokee County.
