What happened

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

A large scale pattern shift was underway as northwest flow began to set up over Oklahoma. A cold front moved southeast out of Kansas into northern Oklahoma, and numerous outflow boundaries were located over the state. Thunderstorms developed by mid afternoon, mainly across the southern half of the state. The most damaging thunderstorm moved through Oklahoma City during rush hour. Hail over golf-ball size and damaging winds over 70 mph were reported as the thunderstorms moved south. Other thunderstorms developed over southeast Oklahoma, and farther west into western Oklahoma. Thunderstorms developing over these areas also produced severe hail and damaging winds.

What forecasters said that day

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
335 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2009

.DISCUSSION...
AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD FROM SW ONTARIO
INTO THE MIDWEST AND A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES
AMPLIFIES...THE CWA SHOULD BE UNDER NORTHERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...AND
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY EACH OF THESE
DISTURBANCES.

STORMS BEHIND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY STRETCHED FROM NORTHWESTERN INTO
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE THIS EVENING AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING IN UNSTABLE AIR NEAR THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING...AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS MAY ACCOMPANY
SOUTHEAST MOVING STORM COMPLEXES OVERNIGHT.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL COOL AND RAIN CHANCES
WILL REMAIN HIGHER RELATIVE TO THE PAST WEEK. THE HEAT ADVISORY
WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE THIS EVENING. ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE CWA ON SATURDAY...REINFORCING THE
UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY AIR. NEAR RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE
LOW TO MID 60S ARE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY MORNING...WITH STORM CLUSTERS
DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGH PLAINS AND MOVING TOWARD THE CWA EXPECTED
TO KEEP A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER PRESENT AND PREVENT MORNING
LOW TEMPS FROM FALLING TOO FAR.

THE PATTERN FEATURING A WESTERN US RIDGE AND AN EASTERN US TROUGH
IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. THE
INHERITED FORECAST HAD THIS WELL COVERED AND NO CHANGES WERE MADE
BEYOND THE WEEKEND.
