Summary

A potent, late February storm system produced an outbreak of tornadoes and other severe weather across Oklahoma and western north Texas during the late afternoon and evening hours of February 26, 2023. Hail up to the size of golf balls and severe wind gusts of 58-85 mph were observed during this event. Teams from NWS Norman conducted damage path surveys in central Oklahoma on February 27, 2023 and confirmed 5 tornadoes (3 EF-1 & 2 EF-2 tornadoes) in the area. More surveys had been conducted in western Oklahoma on February 28-March 1, 2023. A total of 13 tornadoes in western, southwestern, north central and central Oklahoma have been documented in the NWS Norman forecast area.

The 13 tornadoes documented for this event is the greatest total of tornadoes to occur in Oklahoma during the month of February since officials records began in 1950. The previous record total was 6 and occurred in February of 1975 and 2009.

More information regarding this severe weather outbreak will be added as it becomes available.
