| Episode Narrative | Severe thunderstorms developed in the panhandle of Oklahoma and up into southwest Kansas during the early evening along a dryline. Storms struggled to develop all afternoon due to warm air aloft but once they did form explosive growth was realized. Several long tracked and strong tornadoes occurred with the strongest storms. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado moved out of Meade County at 1943 LST and moved into Ford County at 1952 LST. As it crossed Highway 54 it overturned a semi truck but fortunately the driver was not hurt. |
