Thunderstorms developed during the afternoon of the 25th across southeastern Oklahoma, to the north of an upper level disturbance approaching the area from eastern Texas. The atmosphere had become moderately unstable ahead of the thunderstorms, and the low level wind shear had become strong. The combination of instability and wind shear promoted the development of supercell thunderstorms, which formed ahead of a squall line. The supercells produced multiple tornadoes, along with damaging wind.||
