| Episode Narrative | During the afternoon a group of thunderstorms near Oakley merged, forming a stronger storm which produced two tornadoes in Graham County. Hail from these storms grew from up to golf ball size to tea cup size after merging. The largest hail was reported east of Hoxie. After the main round of storms had moved through, hail up to ping-pong ball size was reported with another storm over Wichita County. Earlier in the afternoon dime size hail was reported from a much weaker storm over Ruleton. |
| Event Narrative | Based on radar rotation, the tornado tracked east and remained north of Highway 36. No damage was reported. |
