A weak disturbance moving Oklahoma helped numerous thunderstorms to develop over northern Oklahoma. The main impact with the thunderstorms was heavy rain, but a line of thunderstorms moving through Garfield county produced strong winds, which were enough to cause damage to trees and some structures.

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

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 16, 6:24 AM CST, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 724 AM CDT WED JUN 16 2010 .UPDATE... STORM COMPLEX ACROSS NORTHERN PANHANDLES PERSISTS AND IS ABOUT TO MOVE INTO NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. HAVE UPDATED ZONES TO INCREASE POPS IN THE NORTHWEST FOR THESE THUNDERSTORMS. && .AVIATION... ADDED A TEMPO GROUP TO KGAG AND KWWR THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE SMALL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVING OUT OF THE NORTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE. OTHER ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCE AT KPNC.. BUT PROBABILITY OF STORMS IS LOW ENOUGH TO NOT INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE... SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM CDT WED JUN 16 2010/ DISCUSSION... ALTOCUMULUS THAT DEVELOPED AROUND MIDNIGHT HAS PRODUCED A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WITHIN THE PAST HOUR OR SO... ALTHOUGH AT THE MOMENT THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES. ANOTHER BATCH OF ALTOCUMULUS IS OBSERVED ON SATELLITE ACROSS SOUTHWEST/SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA ALTHOUGH NO RADAR ECHOES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WITH THESE CLOUDS. LOCAL WRF... NSSL WRF AND HRRR ALL TO SOME EXTENT SUGGESTED THE CONVECTION IN THE NORTH AND WEST THIS MORNING. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT AREAL COVERAGE WILL BE LOW SO WILL JUST KEEP 20 POPS. MANY MODELS ARE DEVELOPING PRECIPITATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON... ALTHOUGH OFFER VARIED IDEAS OF WHERE THIS CONVECTION WILL OCCUR. THIS LOOKS REASONABLE WITH A WEAK CAP SHOWN IN THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS... BUT AGAIN DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD COVERAGE WITH LACK OF FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND WILL KEEP 20S ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. OTHERWISE OVERALL TREND OF SLOWLY INCREASING HEIGHTS AND MIGRATION OF UPPER-LEVEL FLOW TO THE NORTH CONTINUES THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
