A line of strong to severe thunderstorms moved through eastern Oklahoma during the morning hours of the 13th, ahead of a cold front that moved through the area. Wind damage occurred with the stronger storms within the line. Very strong low level wind shear combined with marginally strong instability to result in a few strong low level circulations along the leading edge of the line of thunderstorms as it moved eastward. One such circulation produced a tornado in Adair County.
