What happened
The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
Oppressively hot temperatures that had dominated the weather story during the summer continued into the afternoon of August 3. A weak cold front moved to near the I-44 corridor by late afternoon, with temperatures well over 100 degrees on either side of the boundary. Scattered thunderstorms developed near and north of the front by mid afternoon and continued into the early evening. Some damage was reported with strong winds over southwest Oklahoma City.
What forecasters said that day

1252 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011
.AVIATION...
SURFACE COLD FRONT AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA
AND SHIFTED WINDS TO NORTH/NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA. WINDS WILL BE SOMEWHAT VARIABLE NEAR THE BOUNDARIES AS
IT SLOWS DOWN AND IS PUSHED BY ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY...
ESPECIALLY NEAR AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARIES. AS USUAL... THE
CHANCE OF STORMS AT ANY PARTICULAR TAF SITE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A TEMPO GROUP... ALTHOUGH ANY STORMS THAT FORM NEARBY WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1008 AM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/
UPDATE...
SFC BOUNDARY CONT TO PUSH SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING AND IS
NEAR THE I-44 CORRIDOR MID-MORNING. SHOULD CONT TO SEE SOME PUSH
INTO AT LEAST EARLY THIS AFTN AND WILL IMPACT TEMPS... ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTH. HAVE TRIMMED A FEW DEGREES FROM HIGHS ACROSS THE
NORTH... BUT AM HESITANT TO DROP HIGHS AT THIS POINT ACROSS
CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA... BUT WILL CONT TO MONITOR. FOR THIS
AFTN WILL NEED TO WATCH AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF BOUNDARY FOR
POSSIBILITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STORMS. STRONG TO
POSSIBLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 642 AM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/
AVIATION...FRONTAL WIND SHIFT EXTENDED FROM KPNC TO KCSM. A
SHALLOW OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS ALSO APPROACHING KOKC AND KOUN...DOWN
TO KLAW AND KSPS. THE OUTFLOW WILL TURN WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST
EARLY IN THE PERIOD. EXPECT THAT MIXING WILL RETURN WINDS TO LIGHT
SOUTHWEST OR LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT KLAW AND KSPS...WHILE THE
APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL KEEP WINDS TURNING AROUND MORE
TOWARD THE NORTH AT KOKC AND KOUN. MVFR CEILINGS OBSERVED IN THE
POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT/HIGHER TERRAIN IN NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA.
THE CEILINGS WILL LIFT BY 15-16 Z. INCLUDED VCTS AT SEVERAL SITES
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT LOW COVERAGE DOES NOT WARRANT TEMPO GROUPS YET.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 516 AM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/
DISCUSSION....DISCUSSION...
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING EXTENDED THROUGH SATURDAY...
IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WE WILL SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...AND GENERALLY MORE VARIABLE WEATHER FROM THE RED RIVER TO
THE KANSAS BORDER THAN IN RECENT DAYS. STILL...WE HAVE FAIRLY HIGH
CONFIDENCE THAT THE DAYS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABNORMALLY HOT...AND
THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL YIELD INSUFFICIENT RAIN/OUTFLOW TO
PROVIDE ANY MEANINGFUL RELIEF. THEREFORE...THE HEAT WARNING WAS
EXTENDED THROUGH SATURDAY.
SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS MORNING PLACED A SLIGHTLY-LESS-HOT FRONT IN
NORTHERN OKLAHOMA FROM PONCA CITY TO FAIRVIEW TO CHEYENNE. A
THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OR GRAVITY WAVE ALSO ENTERING WESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. THE GRAVITY WAVE SHOULD MOVE EAST
QUICKLY...GENERATING A SHORT LIVED WIND SHIFT...WHILE THE FRONT IS
PREDICTED TO STALL JUST NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 BY MID MORNING.
LOCATIONS NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL SEE HIGHS OF 102 TO 107 DEGREES...
MAYBE A BIT LESS THAN YESTERDAY. ON THE OTHER HAND...HUMIDITY WILL
REALLY INCREASE...WITH TRAJECTORIES OFF THE CORN BELT OF THE MIDWEST
STATES...BRINGING LOW TO MIDDLE 70S DEWPOINTS TOWARD NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. THESE WILL MIX OUT SOMEWHAT DURING THE DAY...BUT IT WILL
STILL BE NOTICEABLY VERY HUMID AND DANGEROUSLY HOT. MEANWHILE...SOUTH
OF THE FRONT A LIGHT WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND WILL PROVIDE WEAK
DOWNSLOPE WARMING...WHILE A PLUME OF VERY HOT 850 MB TEMPERATURES IS
ADVECTED IN FROM THE WEST. IT IS HARD TO SAY EXACTLY HOW HIGH
TEMPERATURES CAN GO IN THIS REGIME. IF THE DOWNSLOPE WERE STRONGER
WE MAY HAVE FORECAST THE ALL TIME WARMEST TEMPERATURE AT OKLAHOMA
CITY...113...BUT AS IT STANDS WITH LIGHT WINDS...WE STOPPED JUST
SHORT. SOME LOCATIONS...THOUGH...WILL LIKELY REACH 113...GIVEN THE
NUMBER OF LOCATIONS THAT REACHED 111-112 YESTERDAY.
THE FRONT NEAR I-40 AND MOIST UPSLOPE AGAINST THE HIGH TERRAIN
AROUND ELLIS COUNTY WILL SERVE AS FOCI FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH STEERING FLOW TOWARD THE
NORTH...STORMS ARE LIKELY TO PROPAGATE INTO THE REGION NORTH OF THE
FRONT...WHERE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATEST.
HENCE...THERE IS SOME THREAT OF DAMAGING MICROBURST WINDS TODAY.
THE FRONT WILL LINGER THROUGH THURSDAY...REINFORCED BY CONVECTIVE
OUTFLOW THAT WILL OCCUR TONIGHT IN KANSAS AND FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT FRIDAY...BUT SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BOTH DAYS. SURFACE WINDS WILL COME AROUND
TO EASTERLY OR SOUTHERLY...AND THIS WILL SHAVE A COUPLE DEGREES OFF
THE HIGHS. SATURDAY IS STARTING TO LOOK HOTTER THOUGH. THAT IS WHEN
THE NEXT NORTHERN PLAINS TROUGH WILL SWING BY...RESULTING IN A
SUBTLE VEERING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SATURDAY
COULD BE THE PEAK OF THE EXTREME HEAT EPISODE UNFOLDING THIS WEEK.
AFTER SATURDAY...THERE IS A CONSISTENT MODEL SIGNAL FOR THE RIDGE
CENTER TO MOVE WEST...ALLOWING HEIGHTS TO FALL BY ABOUT 60
DECAMETERS...WHILE NORTHWEST FLOW INCREASES ALOFT. AS OF YET THE
MODELS DO NOT PRODUCE SURFACE NORTHERLIES TO MATCH THE UPPER
PATTERN SHIFT...BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT A FRONT WILL REACH OUR
LATITUDE. COOLING WILL BE AUGMENTED BY OUR DROUGHT STRICKEN
SOIL...BUT WE ARE BRINGING FORECAST TEMPS DOWN CLOSER TO 100
DEGREES IN NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BY MONDAY...AND THOSE COULD GO COOLER
IF THE MODELS START TO CATCH ON AT THE SURFACE.
