From June 27 through July 8, 2025, southwestern Oklahoma, western north Texas, and parts of central and northern Oklahoma experienced persistent scattered showers and thunderstorms. The storms frequently produced heavy rainfall, localized flooding, cloud-to-ground lightning, gusty winds, and occasional small to quarter-sized hail. Wind gusts reached up to 60 mph on several occasions, with a forecast on July 7 warning of potential damaging gusts up to 70 mph. Severe weather risk varied over the period, with some days seeing diminished severe threat but continued concern for strong storms capable of producing damaging winds and hail. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma, consistently highlighted the hazards of heavy downpours, flooding, lightning, and strong winds, particularly in western north Texas and Oklahoma regions. By July 8, isolated storms were developing along outflow boundaries in central Oklahoma, with potential intensification to severe storms featuring damaging gusty winds and small hail. Despite the frequent storm activity, some forecasts indicated that severe weather and flooding were not expected to be widespread, with certain areas recently affected by flooding largely spared from new storm impacts.
Isolated storms firing up on an outflow boundary moving southward into Central OK. So far below severe but could intensify to severe with damaging gusty winds as the main severe hazard. Small hail will also be possible. #okwx #texomawx https://t.co/rM9Yo3ACfS
