Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA vigorous shortwave trough quickly moved into portions of the Central/Southern Plains during the day on the 6th. Hazardous weather occurred on both sides of an advancing Pacific front/dryline during the afternoon and evening hours. Behind the boundary, a strong low-level jet/flow was juxtaposed atop a very dry airmass, resulting in dangerous fire weather conditions. Two large wildfires ignited during the early evening across portions of northwest Oklahoma. In the moist sector, widely scattered thunderstorm development occurred during the late afternoon. Despite strong deep-layer wind shear (as expected with a strong upper wave), limited instability proved hostile for sustained severe convection/outcomes. A transient supercell thunderstorm moved across southern portions of the Oklahoma City metro area, producing isolated wind damage.
