| Episode Narrative | A day after a damaging tornado event, several hours of strong winds developed over much of Oklahoma. The combination of a strong low pressure moving into the southeast United States, and a strong high pressure building south through plains caused very gusty winds, with numerous gusts over 60 mph reported over a large area. The sustained winds combined with the wind gusts caused some minor damage, with a couple of high profile vehicles overturned. The most numerous severe wind gusts occurred over western Oklahoma, although severe wind gusts were reported as far east as I-35. By the mid evening hours, the winds subsided somewhat, with wind gusts mostly in the 30s and 40s. |
| Event Narrative | Individual non-thunderstorm severe gusts of 61, 61, 58, 58, 64, 68, 62, and 61 mph were measured at the Freedom Mesonet site. The May Ranch Mesonet site measured severe gusts of 58, 59, 58, 58, 60, 60, 60, and 62 mph. The Alva Mesonet site measured severe gusts of 58, 58, 67, and 68 mph. |
