What happened
The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
The 26th began with a few isolated storms forming out ahead of the dryline and becoming severe. Later in the afternoon, the dryline surged east and storms fired along the boundary. These storms quickly became severe and gradually merged into a line as they moved eastward through the evening.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 11:55 AM CST, 2 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 1255 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016 .DISCUSSION... SEE AVIATION. && .AVIATION... MOST TERMINALS WILL REMAIN UNDER MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING... ALONG WITH SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS. A LARGE SCALE WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD +TSRA CONVECTION BREAKING OUT BETWEEN 1800Z-0200Z... AFFECTING TERMINALS ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA & NORTH TEXAS FIRST... AND EXTENDING OUT TO 04Z AT TERMINALS ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LARGE HAIL AND STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE UNDER THESE SUPERCELL STORMS. EXPECTING ALL TERMINALS TO INCREASE TO VFR CONDITIONS BY 0800Z AS THE CONVECTION SHIFTS TO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. A COLD FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS WILL BEGIN TO PUSH ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AFTER 1200Z... RESULTING IN A NORTHWEST SHIFT OF THE SFC WINDS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1039 AM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ UPDATE... MORNING UPDATE ON CONVECTIVE TRENDS. DISCUSSION... INITIATED POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA FOR THIS MORNING AS ISOLATED AND HIGHLY ELEVATED STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE QUICKLY NORTHEAST. LIKELY INDUCED BY DEPARTING SPEED MAX AND AIDED BY MODEST WAA REGIME. THIS IS NOT THE MAIN CONVECTIVE EVENT. TRENDS OF CAM MODELS INDICATING A FARTHER WEST CONVECTIVE INITIATION POTENTIAL BUT ARE CONSISTENT ON LOW LEVEL SHEAR FCSTS LEAVING SHEAR MARGINAL UNTIL AFTER 23Z WHEN IT INCREASES SUBSTANTIALLY. ADJUSTED TORNADO POTENTIAL GRAPHICS TO SPREAD SLIGHTLY HIGHER PROBS FARTHER WEST/SOUTHWEST SO THREAT HAS INCREASED SOME LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. ALSO COULD HAVE AN EARLIER INITIATION TIME ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. WITH THE FARTHER WEST INITIATION IN CAMS...THIS BRINGS STORMS INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA LATER AND THIS TREND WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 711 AM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ DISCUSSION... 12Z TAFS AVIATION... MAIN ISSUES ARE THE WIDESPREAD STRATUS THIS MORNING... AND THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY. MVFR CIGS ARE WIDESPREAD ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA /EXCEPT GAG AND WWR WILL LIKELY STAY WEST OF THE STRATUS/. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HAIL AND VERY STRONG WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 437 AM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ DISCUSSION... BIG PICTURE STILL SHOWS THE POTENTIAL OF A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER DAY ACROSS THE AREA. THE PRIMARY TAKEAWAY IS THAT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME UNCERTAINTIES DISCUSSED BELOW... RESIDENTS OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT TODAY FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER AND TORNADOES AND SHOULD NOT FOCUS ON THE MINUTIA OF THE MORE UNCERTAIN TIMING AND EVOLUTION DETAILS OF THE FORECAST. ON THE LARGE SCALE... THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE AND THE PRIMARY UPPER WAVE IS PROGGED TO APPROACH WESTERN OKLAHOMA AT 00Z... WELL TIMED FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE INSTABILITY WILL DEFINITELY SUPPORT HIGH-END SEVERE STORMS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL. SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. BUT THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS AND A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT SPECIFIC EVOLUTIONS. FIRST IS TIMING. ALTHOUGH TIMING OF THE MAIN WAVE LOOKS REASONABLE... SATELLITE HAS SHOWN MID/HIGH CLOUDS DEVELOPING FROM EL PASO NORTHEAST TOWARD GUYMON HINTING AT A FEATURE THAT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RESOLVED BY THE MODELS. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE WIND PROFILER DATA AT THE OLD WHITE SANDS AND TUCUMCARI PROFILER SITES TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. BUT AS CLOUDS DEVELOP AND SATELLITE CAN BEGIN ESTIMATING MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS HERE...CURRENT GOES ESTIMATES ARE 70-85 KNOTS AROUND 300 MB AND EVEN 70 KNOTS AROUND 500 MB... MUCH HIGHER THAN PROGGED...SO DO NOT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT ANY AFFECT FROM THIS APPARENT ENHANCEMENT ARE RESOLVED IN ANY WAY BY THE MODELS. THIS LEADS TO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT IF THIS WILL SUPPORT AN EARLIER INITIAL WAVE OF DEVELOPMENT AND IF SO... HOW WILL THAT AFFECT THE EVOLUTION LATER TODAY. WILL NOT INCLUDE POPS TOO EARLY IN THIS PACKAGE... BUT WILL CLOSELY WATCH EVOLUTION. ON THE OTHER SIDE... WITH A RELATIVELY STOUT CAPPING INVERSION... THERE IS A DECENT CHANCE THAT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALSO MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL LATER AS WELL. SECOND QUESTION IS TORNADO POTENTIAL. LOW-LEVEL AND DEEP-LAYER SHEAR CERTAINLY SUPPORT TORNADOES TODAY. BUT AGAIN LOOKING AT THE DETAILS... MOST FORECAST HODOGRAPHS SHOW A VEERING/BACKING/ VEERING PROFILE WITH HEIGHT WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY CONDUCIVE TO LONG-LIVED TORNADIC STORMS. BUT AGAIN WHILE IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THESE UNCERTAINTIES FROM A FORECAST PERSPECTIVE... THE BIG PICTURE REMAINS THE SAME THAT SEVERE WEATHER IS LIKELY AND THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-END SEVERE STORMS /ESPECIALLY VERY LARGE HAIL/ AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES. MOVING FORWARD... THE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY LINGER IN THE SOUTHEAST TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE MOVING OUT. STORM CHANCES RETURN THURSDAY NIGHT AS MOISTURE RETURNS WITH A WARM FRONT ANOTHER STRONG WAVE MOVES FROM THE FOUR CORNERS STATES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. EXPECT STORMS TO BE WIDESPREAD FRIDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. .26. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... .THUNDERSTORMS... THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. LOCATION... THE MODERATE RISK IS EAST OF A LINE FROM CHEROKEE TO LAWTON AND WICHITA FALLS...AND WEST OF HOLDENVILLE AND DURANT. LOCATIONS WEST AND EAST OF THE MODERATE RISK ARE IN AN ENHANCED RISK. TIMING... ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SEEN THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE THREAT. THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR ORGANIZED AND SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS WILL BE AFTER 2 PM THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE MAIN STORM INITIATION AREA IS EXPECTED OVER SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. STORMS WILL THEN MOVE QUICKLY TO THE NORTH AND EAST. IMPACTS... HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS THIS MORNING. GIANT HAIL LARGER THAN BASEBALLS WILL LIKELY OCCUR WITH SOME STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WIND GUSTS TO 80 MPH AND TORNADOES ARE ALSO EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE RISK AREA SHOULD PLAN FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING. .DISCUSSION... ISOLATED STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS MORNING ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AS A DISTURBANCE MOVES QUICKLY NORTHWARD OVER THE REGION. A MUCH STRONGER DISTURBANCE WILL BE MOVING OUT OF WEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMEROUS SEVERE STORMS. THE THREAT OF TORNADOES WILL INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL SHEAR INCREASES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY... .THUNDERSTORMS... SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR FRIDAY ALONG WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD PRODUCE FLOODING. THE GREATEST RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WILL BE OVER WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA.
