The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
A weak front slowly moved south through northern Oklahoma. Widespread showers and thunderstorms over western and parts of central Oklahoma during the afternoon hours. Weak instability aloft kept most of the thunderstorm activity below severe levels, although a thunderstorm west of Shattuck briefly became severe with damage reported to trees and fences.
