The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
Tropical air remained over much of the southern plains on the 23rd. An upper level low pressure area meandered slowly over southwest Oklahoma, with weak disturbances rotating around the east and north sides. Several slow moving thunderstorms developed and produced very heavy rain. A few of the thunderstorms also became severe over parts of central Oklahoma with hail up to the size of quarters and brief severe winds.
