What happened

The episode as NWS AMA wrote it up.

Severe weather developed over the eastern Oklahoma Panhandle during the evening hours of the 3rd. The rapid succession of two weak mid-level shortwave troughs across the Central Plains provided the large scale lift needed for storm development. At the surface, a warm front had moved north across the Southern Plains earlier in the day as a surface trough developed across the New Mexico Eastern Plains. As the first shortwave moved across the western Oklahoma Panhandle, scattered thunderstorms developed across the central and eastern Oklahoma Panhandle. These thunderstorms would produce a mix of sub-severe and severe size hail. As thunderstorms persisted into the late evening hours, thunderstorms moved into the eastern Oklahoma Panhandle, and transitioned from hail producers to damaging wind producers. During this same time the individual thunderstorms merged into a line and moved to the southeast. This line caused several reports of thunderstorm wind damage across Beaver County. By 9 PM CST, the shortwave that caused the storms to develop had moved into eastern Kansas and sent the associated thunderstorms into western Oklahoma.

What forecasters said that day

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
422 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT
AFTERNOON DOPPLER RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING CLUSTER OF HIGH BASED
THUNDERSTORMS INITIATING IN SOUTHWESTERN KS...IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A
SURFACE LOW IN SOUTHEASTERN CO. THE DRYLINE HAS PUSHED INTO THE
WESTERN OK PANHANDLE BUT CURVES BACK INTO EASTERN NM. STRONG DAYTIME
HEATING AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRYLINE WILL LEAD TO AN EXPANSION
IN STORM COVERAGE. HIGH-RES MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN SHOWING
THE STORMS IN SOUTHWESTERN KS CONGEALING INTO A MCS THAT WILL MARCH
EASTWARD INTO WESTERN OK LATER THIS EVENING WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER OF
STORMS INITIATING IN THE SOUTHEASTERN TX PANHANDLE. THIS CONVECTION
WILL BE AIDED LATER THIS EVENING/TONIGHT BY A STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL
JET OVER THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE/WESTERN OK. DESPITE THE OUTPUT BY
THE HIGH-RES MODELS...MOST NWP GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS STORM COVERAGE
A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE WEST SO HAVE BROAD BRUSHED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
OVER ALL BUT THE SOUTHWESTERN TX PANHANDLE. CONVECTION SHOULD WANE BY
06Z DUE TO INCREASING CINH. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 50S
IN THE WESTERN ZONES TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEASTERN TX PANHANDLE.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
AN UPPER-LEVEL CLOSED LOW WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
TUESDAY AND WILL SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA LATER IN THE DAY.
THE DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO MIX OUT A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE
EAST BY THE AFTERNOON...WITH DRY SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE
AREA. THIS WILL GREATLY LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES SO HAVE GONE AND REMOVED
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE MORNING. HOWEVER STRONG DAYTIME HEATING
/ALLOWING FOR TEMPS TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES/
WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE DRYLINE AFTER 18Z. THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP
SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON WHERE IT WILL OVERTAKE THE DRYLINE.
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASES BEHIND THE FRONT. THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WED WHILE THE COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTH OF THE PANHANDLES.
ALTHOUGH THE AREA WILL BE DISPLACED FROM SYNOPTIC SCALE PROVIDED BY
THE UPPER LOW AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT...UPSLOPE SFC FLOW WILL
MAINTAIN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS. CONVECTION WILL BE TIED TO
THE PASSAGE OF ANY UPPER DISTURBANCES THAT WILL SWING ACROSS THE
PLAINS SOUTH OF THE BASE OF THIS UPPER LOW. DIURNAL HEATING CAN ALSO
CONTRIBUTE TO STORM INITIATION...ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL BE MUCH COOLER
WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM NEAR 70 IN THE NORTHWEST OK PANHANDLE TO
AROUND 90 IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST TX PANHANDLE.

THE AREA WILL RESIDE UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THURSDAY SO HAVE
MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WITH THE IDEA
THAT ANY CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NM CAN MAKE
IT INTO THE PANHANDLES. AN UPPER WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS BY THE WEEKEND. THIS CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD END SUNDAY AS THE AREA GETS
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST. TEMPS WILL BE PLEASANT BEYOND TUESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
70S AND 80S.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING OVER
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES. THE DRYLINE
WILL PUSH INTO THE CENTRAL PANHANDLES TUESDAY...WITH AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FALLING TO AROUND 5 TO 15 PERCENT OVER
THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. HOWEVER 20 FOOT WINDS
UNDER 15 MPH WILL PRECLUDE ELEVATED AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY RESULTING
IN WINDS SHIFTING TO THE NORTH. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL EXIST FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK WHILE AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES ABOVE 20 PERCENT ARE EXPECTED AREA WIDE BEYOND TUESDAY.
