episode_narrativeSummary of events for May 11 1999:Numerous severe thunderstorms formed along a slow-moving north-south cold front across eastern Oklahoma on the afternoon and evening of May 11. A cap of warm air in the mid-levels of the atmosphere kept thunderstorm activity suppressed until the first storm formed in Rogers and Mayes County late in the afternoon. This was the largest storm of the day as it showed strong rotation and produced very large hail to the size of baseballs.Many other severe thunderstorms formed and increased in coverage through the evening. With the slow movement of the cold front, many thunderstorms moved over areas already saturated by earlier thunderstorms, leading to localized flash flooding. Several brief tornadoes also formed through the evening, with the largest concentration in the Arkansas River valley between Muskogee and Sallisaw.
