What happened
The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
A weak cold front moved into southern Oklahoma during the morning and late afternoon hours. This front washed out north of the Red River as an upper level disturbance moved from west to east along Interstate 40. Upward motion from this disturbance, combined with daytime heating, allowed for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop. Hail and high winds were the main hazards with the thunderstorms. Many of the thunderstorms moved into eastern Oklahoma by late evening, however, and an isolated thunderstorm moved over Cleveland county. Overall, wind damage occurred in Oklahoma, Grady, and Cleveland counties. Monetary damages were estimated.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 1:01 PM CST, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 201 PM CDT SUN JUN 10 2007 .SHORT TERM... ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE VERY UNSTABLE AND MOSTLY UNCAPPED AIR ACROSS OUR SE. VERTICAL SHEAR IS A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY. STORMS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INCREASING IN NUMBER/INTENSITY THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS MAINLY SE HALF OK WHERE CAPES ARE OVER 3000 ACCORDING TO LATEST SPC/LAPS ANALYSES. UPPER TROUGH SEEN ON SATELLITE AND 12Z 500MB ANALYSIS OVER W/N OK MAY CONTRIBUTE TO DEEPER-LAYER FORCING ACROSS E OK THRU EARLY EVENING. SLIGHTLY BETTER SHEAR SUGGESTS A BETTER CHANCE OF A FEW MULTICELL CLUSTERS TODAY... ALTHOUGH PULSE STORMS WILL REMAIN A CONCERN. STORMS EXPECTED TO DECREASE AFTER SUNSET WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND UPPER TROUGH MOVING E OF THE AREA. THEREAFTER... NAM IS AN OUTLIER IN SLOWING DOWN THE APPROACH OF THE SYSTEM NOW OFF THE BAJA COAST. WILL SIDE WITH THE MORE CONSISTENT AND FASTER SOLUTIONS OF THE OTHER MODELS... AND RAISE POPS A LITTLE IN THE NW ON TUE AND TUE NIGHT WHERE STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO CONSENSUS OF MOS NUMBERS... WHICH ARE REASONABLY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. .LONG TERM... GFS CONTINUES TREND OF CUTTING OFF A LOW OVER OR NEAR OK BY AROUND THU AND KEEPING IT IN THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY. GFS RECENTLY HAS HAD MORE SUPPORT FROM THE ECMWF/UKMET THAN FROM ITS OWN ENSEMBLE MEMBERS... MANY OF WHICH REMAIN MORE PROGRESSIVE AND MOVE THE WEAKNESS IN THE PROGGED HEIGHT FIELD FARTHER E/SE INTO E TX AND LOWER-MID MS VALLEY. A STALLED UPPER LOW OVER THE S PLAINS WOULD SEEM UNLIKELY GIVEN SLOWLY BUILDING HEIGHTS OVER THE SW STATES AND LARGE-SCALE TROUGHING OVER THE E/SE STATES. BUT GIVEN THE MODEL TRENDS AND THE PROSPECTS FOR AN AMPLIFYING RIDGE DOWNSTREAM OF THE SLOW-MOVING SYSTEM... WE WILL TREND WETTER IN THE LATTER PERIODS OF THE FORECAST. POPS ARE RAISED TO 30-40 PCT RANGE WED-THU... AND EXTENDED INTO AT LEAST THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEKEND. HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN AGAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK... DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THE SYSTEM MEANDERS OVER THE AREA. TEMPS BASED LARGELY ON MEX MOS GRIDS WITH ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
