Local Weather History For June 8th...

During the very hot and very dry days of early June 2011, a weak cold
front and dry line entered western portions of Oklahoma. On June 8th,
2011, severe thunderstorms developed in the very hot environment
which resulted in widespread damaging wind gusts and even some large
hail. The strongest and most persistent winds were seen just north
and west of Altus, where winds measured 77 mph. The same front and
additional outflow boundaries helped produced thunderstorms the
following day across northwest Oklahoma, again, producing damaging
wind gusts.
