The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
The very wet pattern continued over Oklahoma on the 13th. An outflow boundary was situated northwest to southeast over parts of northern and central Oklahoma. Other outflow boundaries were scattered over the western half of the state as well. A very slow moving upper level storm system drifted toward western Oklahoma. This helped thunderstorms develop over much of western Oklahoma. The thunderstorms produced very large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes over parts of the area. Also, due to the slow movement of the thunderstorms, flash flooding continued to be a concern with several roads washed out. The event lasted well into the evening before finally ending during the early morning hours. Monetary damages were estimated.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 9:45 AM CST, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AFTN SFC FRONT WILL APPROACH WESTERN SECTIONS AND UPPER LOW WILL CONT TO SLOWLY PROGRESS ESE INTO WEST TX. THIS WILL RESULT IN DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ACROSS WESTERN OK SOUTH INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. WITH SLOW MOVEMENT OF STORMS AND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL ROUNDS OR TRAINING OF ECHOES WILL NEED TO LOOK AS FLOOD WATCH FOR PARTS OF AREA BEGINNING TONIGHT. NOT MANY SIG CHANGES TO TODAYS GRIDS. BASICALLY TWEAKED TO LATEST TRENDS. UPDATES OUT SHORTLY. 30 ------------------------------------------------ 435 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2007 .DISCUSSION... THE UPPER JET OVER THE PANHANDLES HAS ROTATED THROUGH THE BASE OF THE ARIZONA UPPER LOW AND SHOULD HELP PUSH TO THE LOW TOWARD WESTERN KANSAS LATER TODAY BEFORE DRIFTING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. FOR TODAY...A MAIN THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE EARLY IN THE DAY AS A VERY MOIST AND WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT OVER EASTERN SECTIONS IS GRADUALLY REPLACED THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH DRIER/SUBSIDING MID/UPPER LEVEL AIR ACCOMPANYING A DRY AIR INTRUSION. PRECIPITATION CHANCES THEN RESUME LATE IN THE DAY NEAR THE WESTERN OKLAHOMA BORDER AS A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH LOW MOVES CLOSER AND INTERACTS WITH AN INCREASING UNSTABLE AIRMASS. OUR SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES APPEAR HIGHEST THIS EVENING WHEN THE BOUNDARY IS MORE LIKELY TO ENTER THE AREA ALONG WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET. HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE RUC/GFS FOR TODAY AS THE NAM (OPERATIONAL NMM VERSION) APPEARS TO BE OUT TO LUNCH REGARDING PRECIPITATION AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH THE ASSOCIATED MODEL MASS FIELDS AFFECTED AND THEREFORE MAKING FURTHER INTERROGATION VERY DIFFICULT.

OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL
MAINTAIN A RELATIVELY HIGH PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THE WEEKEND.
