What happened
The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
A powerful storm system moved through the inter-mountain west toward the southern Plains late on the 10th and into the 11th. Thunderstorms developed very early over eastern New Mexico/West Texas, as a lead disturbance rotated around main storm system. The storms moved northeast, impacting western Oklahoma with some marginally severe winds and small hail. Another disturbance fired off thunderstorms further south into northern Texas later into the early afternoon, with the storms expanding as they moved north-northeast into Oklahoma. High winds caused damage from south-central into northern Oklahoma, with most of the damage confined to downed tree limbs, although some of the stronger gusts were able to cause roof damage and down trees. The thunderstorms moved into eastern Oklahoma by early evening.
What forecasters said that day

.AVIATION...
STRATUS STREAMING NORTH THIS MORNING SHOULD OVERSPREAD ALL SITES
THIS MORNING... BUT WILL LIKELY MIX EAST OF WESTERN ONES AS DRYLINE
PUSHES EAST. WILL KEEP MENTION OF PRECIP/THUNDER OUT OF TAFS UNTIL
LATE TODAY... EXCEPT FOR GAG/WWR AS CONVECTION CONT TO DEVELOP
ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND PANHANDLE REGION. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY
SKIRT NW SITES THIS MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2011/
.DISCUSSION...
FAIRLY COMPLEX WEATHER DAY EXPECTED TODAY WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. IMPRESSIVE TO SEE CONVECTION
WELL WEST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING ACROSS WEST TEXAS AS LIFT FROM AN
INITIAL DISTURBANCE BEGINS TO IMPINGE ON RICHER MOISTURE WHICH HAS
PUSHED WEST OVERNIGHT. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD IMPACT WESTERN
SECTIONS THIS MORNING AS WAVE LIFTS NORTH INTO KANSAS LATER THIS
MORNING. SOME POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT FURTHER EAST LATER THIS MORNING... HOWEVER MODELS MAY BE
OVERDOING QPF AS MOISTURE STREAMS NORTH THIS MORNING RESULTING IN
WIDESPREAD STATUS DECK. IF STORMS DO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING... SEVERE POTENTIAL EXPECTED TO BE RATHER MINIMAL... BUT NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE SOME ELEVATED SEVERE HAIL PRODUCING
STORMS.
BY LATER IN THE DAY EXPECT DRYLINE TO ADVANCE EAST INTO WESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND ADJACENT PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS. WIDESPREAD STRATUS
ACROSS WARM SECTOR WILL GRADUALLY ERODE ALLOWING WARMING ALONG AND
AHEAD OF DRYLINE. THIS WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASING AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP. CONVERGENCE ALONG DRYLINE SHOULD RESULT IN
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS
WESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS CONVECTION WILL THEN MOVE EAST AND NORTHEAST
ACROSS CENTRAL SECTIONS OF OKLAHOMA DURING THE LATE AFTN AND EARLY
EVENING HOURS. OTHER CONCERN TODAY WILL BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WHERE RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR.
WILL UPGRADE CURRENT WATCH TO A WARNING AS VERY DRY AIR THIS AFTN
WILL RESULT IN RH VALUES BETWEEN 10% AND 15% ALONG WITH STRONG
SOUTHWEST SFC WINDS.
MODELS SHOW A SLIGHTLY SLOWER EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF MAIN SYSTEM
AND SFC FRONT WED NIGHT AND THU... THIS MAY RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND
OF STORMS ON THURSDAY... MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST OK. WILL ALSO INTRO
SOME LOW POPS ACROSS NORTHERN OK THU AFTN. THIS WOULD OCCUR AS UPPER
LOW MEANDERS AROUND THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS AND PROXIMITY OF
COLD CORE OF SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN SOME AFTN STORMS.
OTHERWISE... MUCH COOLER MORE SEASONAL WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED FROM
THU INTO THE WEEKEND AND CONT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS CLOSED UPPER
LOW MOVES SLOWLY EAST AND SOUTHEAST. THIS ALLOWS COOL SFC HIGH TO
CONT TO PULL AIR SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA THROUGH THE PLAINS. SOME
HINT THAT BROADER LONGWAVE TROUGH MAY TAKE SHAPE BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK ALLOWING A FEW DAYS OF HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES TO OCCUR JUST
BEYOND CURRENT FORECAST.
