What happened

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

A cold front made its way southeast through Oklahoma during the day, lying over the northwest half of the state by late afternoon. A humid airmass was in place, with plenty of instability from which thunderstorms could work with. Temperatures ahead of the front were well into the 90s to a few degrees above 100 degrees. The large surface temperature and dew point spreads at the surface made the downburst wind threat very high. Also, with the aide of a stronger mid-level flow and cooling, large hail was also a threat. Thunderstorms developed over southwest Oklahoma by late afternoon/early evening. Other thunderstorms began developing over central Oklahoma. The two areas of thunderstorms merged into a line of severe storms, and even extended a little further northeast, with large hail and damaging winds reported through almost the entire complex. The most damaging storm occurred over central Oklahoma, specifically near Norman and Oklahoma City. Shortly after 7 pm, a wet downburst caused intense rainfall and was accompanied by hail up to golf-ball size and winds that were measured at over 80 mph. Damage was reported over much of Norman, with the most intense damage occurring over the northern half of the city. Almost 33,000 residents were without power, some still without power over 24 hours later. This was due to the numerous power poles/lines that were snapped or blown down. The hail was blown almost horizontally, damaging siding, shattering store signs, and denting automobiles. The highest measured wind gust occurred near SE 12th and Boyd, where the anemometer recorded 82 mph before it malfunctioned due to the wind blown hail. The Norman mesonet site measured a gust of 70 mph. A quick inch of rain occurred in about 15 to 20 minutes. This wasn't the only storm to affect parts of central Oklahoma, as some areas received three different rounds of large hail. The thunderstorms moved east, affecting parts of southern Oklahoma through mid evening. The storms weakened in intensity as they moved into eastern and southeast Oklahoma.

OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

LOCATION...
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA COVERS LOCATIONS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA... AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS... NEAR AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE
EXTENDING FROM PONCA CITY... TO WEATHERFORD... TO QUANAH TEXAS.
THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF STILLWATER... THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO
AREA... LAWTON... ADA... VERNON... AND WICHITA FALLS.

OKLAHOMA... TO NEAR THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO AREA... TO NEAR
STILLWATER. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL CAPPING INVERSION IN
PLACE... STRONG HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT... LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
NEAR AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT... AND AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING
OUT OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WILL ACT IN CONCERT TO SUPPORT THE
FORMATION OF AT LEAST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. WHILE THE INITIAL COVERAGE OF
STORMS MAY BE LIMITED... THE STORMS COULD DEVELOP INTO LARGER
CLUSTERS AND PROGRESS EAST AND SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS DURING THE EVENING AND

RESULT IN WILDFIRES ARE DISCOURAGED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
AS THE FRONT STALLS JUST SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER ON WEDNESDAY...
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. THE LIKELIHOOD OF ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER
WILL BE LOW. STORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN QUITE SMALL THURSDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND... BEFORE INCREASING EARLY NEXT WEEK AS ANOTHER COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
FIRES WILL REMAIN A CONCERN IN THOSE AREAS HARDEST HIT BY LONG TERM
DROUGHT... PRIMARILY IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.
