| 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 | The Bessie Mesonet site measured non-thunderstorm severe gusts of 58, 60, 59, 58, 62, 61, 58, 62, 58, 59, 65, 63, 64, 63, 58, 59, 58, 59, 58, 65, and 65 mph. The Retrop Mesonet measured a gust of 58 mph. The ASOS at Burns Flat recorded a peak gust of 64 mph. The severe winds blew over two semis driving along I-40 west of Canute at 1000 am cdt. Another semi carrying empty trailers was overturned at 1217 cdt at mile marker 54 on I-40. Monetary damages were estimated. |
