Episode Narrative	A weak cold front slipped into northern Oklahoma during the early morning hours of the 8th. Meanwhile, a dry line sharpened up near the Oklahoma/Texas panhandle border. Gulf moisture streamed north, with low to middle 60 dew point temperatures in place by late afternoon to the east of the dry line. The cold front had become stationary, providing another focus for afternoon thunderstorms. The cap that was in place for much of the day, weakened sufficiently for thunderstorms to develop over the western third of Oklahoma. Instability and wind shear were already in place, and a weak upper level disturbance moved northeast from west Texas during peak heating hours. Supercell thunderstorms moved northeast, with very large hail to the size of baseballs and strong winds reported along their path. The most intense damage occurred at Ponca City, where a wind gust over 90 mph was measured.
