Lake effect snow will continue into the weekend as two more quick moving systems will bring widespread snow to the Upper Great Lakes. High winds are expected across portions of Montana through the weekend. Below normal temperatures will remain in place across much of the southern and eastern U.S., while the western U.S. will experience above normal temperatures. Read More >
A major tornado outbreak occurred across western Oklahoma during the afternoon and early evening of October 9th, 2001. Five supercell thunderstorms produced a total of 19 confirmed tornadoes. Three of the tornadoes were rated F3, making this the strongest tornado outbreak in Oklahoma for the month of October, and the most significant Oklahoma tornado outbreak since May 3, 1999. A brief review of the strongest tornadoes during the event follows.
The first F3 tornado developed in northeast Beckham County, on the northeast edge of Elk City, and tracked northeastward for 11 miles before dissipating. As the tornado entered Custer County, a home comprised of wood frames with a brick exterior had most of its interior and exterior walls destroyed. The tornado then continued across an unpopulated area, causing major damage to trees and fences, before dissipating 2.5 miles west of Foss Dam.
The second F3 tornado developed in Washita County, near Cordell. The Oklahoma State Emergency Management Office estimated that 477 single-family homes were damaged, 132 considered uninhabitable. In addition, 40 businesses were damaged, 22 considered uninhabitable. Damage was estimated near $1 million, and nine injuries were reported.
The last F3 tornado developed in Kiowa County and produced F3 damage soon after entering Washita County. Several vehicles and large pieces of farm equipment were tossed and destroyed. About 4 miles north-northeast of Mountain View, 3 homes suffered major damage, with one home incurring damage rated at F3. As the tornado continued northeastward, more F3 damage was inflicted on a farm, where a house and several barns and outbuildings were leveled. A 10,000 gallon diesel tank ended up in an open field about one-quarter mile away from its original position.
This tornado outbreak took place just a little over 3 years after the largest October tornado outbreak for the state and the nation occurred on October 4, 1998, when 27 tornadoes hit parts of central and eastern Oklahoma.

The state continues to recover from the series of tornadoes that struck the state on the afternoon of October 9, 2001.
Washita County
Eight individuals were reported injured. In part because of ample warning, there were no fatalities. State, volunteer organizations and federal authorities are on scene providing assistance and further assessment. Initially, 25 highway patrol troopers were on scene providing security. On the evening of October 10th, 186 national guardsmen replaced the highway patrol and began providing security. American Red Cross opened two shelters. The shelters were not used.

A localized, but significant late-season tornado outbreak occurred in parts of west central and central Oklahoma during the late afternoon and evening hours on 9 October 2001. The large scale meteorological features and atmospheric conditions over much of the central and southern plains for this event were quite similar to what might be expected on a severe weather day during the spring months of the year. This emphasizes yet again that if the right atmospheric conditions are present, severe weather can and will occur regardless of the time of year.
By early evening on 9 October, a large scale mid and upper-level trough, which had strengthened significantly since early morning on the 9th, was located over the central Rockies with two smaller scale disturbances (short-wave troughs) embedded within the larger scale flow pattern, one extending from central Nebraska to Oklahoma, and another over the central Rockies.
At jet stream level, a speed maximum of 65 knots was located over Oklahoma and eastern Kansas. At 850 mb (roughly 5,000 feet above ground level), a strong low-level jet was located from Oklahoma northward into eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, with wind speeds in excess of 40 knots. Along the low-level jet axis, deep layer of rich moisture was present, with 850 mb dewpoint temperatures (a measure of the absolute moisture content of the air) in excess of 14 degrees Celsius over a large part of Texas and Oklahoma.
At the surface, the primary area of low pressure at 4 PM CDT was located over southern Nebraska, with a secondary low pressure center over South Dakota. A dry line extended from the low pressure center in Nebraska, through Kansas, along the Texas/Oklahoma border and southward to just west of San Angelo, Texas. A cold front extended from South Dakota to eastern Colorado, with a warm front extending eastward into Iowa from the surface low in Nebraska.
The surface thermal ridge (axis of warmest surface temperatures) was located just to the west of the dry line, where temperatures warmed into the upper 80s from the Texas panhandle northward into western Kansas. To the east of the dry line, surface dewpoints were in the mid 60s to lower 70s over a large part of central and western Oklahoma, with the surface moisture axis extending from near the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, to Lawton, to near Hutchinson, Kansas.
There were several smaller scale features at the surface which appeared to be very important for this event. Although not clearly evident in the surface pressure field as a true mesolow, the Oklahoma mesonet showed that a rather strong small scale cyclonic circulation developed along the Texas/Oklahoma border during the afternoon. Strong surface pressure falls greater than 5 millibars in 3 hours also developed over southwest Oklahoma during the late afternoon. In addition, a complex of thunderstorms had affected much of central and eastern Oklahoma during most of the day on October 9, and by mid afternoon, the outflow boundary from those storms was located from near Clinton, to Duncan, to Ardmore. In the vicinity of this outflow boundary, surface dewpoints increased into the lower 70s by around 4 PM.
The combination of these 3 small scale features resulted in rather strong east to southeast surface winds from 15 to 25 mph during the late afternoon across much of the southwest third of Oklahoma. As a result, atmospheric conditions over western Oklahoma were very favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms by mid-afternoon on October 9.
The atmosphere was very unstable with CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) values from 2500 to 3500 j/kg (joules per kilogram). The surface to 6 kilometer (roughly 18,000 feet above ground) wind shear was around 50 knots, which is generally strong enough to support supercell thunderstorms.
Given the strength of the instability and deep layer wind shear that was present, there were two other features of particular concern by late afternoon: 1) the presence of a nearly saturated and very unstable boundary layer airmass just east of the dry line where temperatures were in the mid 70s, with dewpoints from 70 to 72 and 2) very strong values of wind shear within the lowest 1 kilometer (roughly 3,000 feet) above ground. Surface to 1km storm relative helicity values were in excess of 400 j/kg for much of the late afternoon and evening across areas of Oklahoma along and south of Interstate 40, and west of Interstate 44, with peak surface to 1 km helicity values in excess of 600 j/kg observed just southwest of the Oklahoma City metro area just after sunset.
Not surprisingly, thunderstorms rapidly developed and intensified about 30 to 50 miles east of the surface dryline during the late afternoon. Most of these thunderstorms became supercells and produced numerous tornadoes as they moved eastward through areas of west central into central Oklahoma where the best combination of instability and wind shear was located.

The following 8 images were taken by a Kiowa County Deputy, Doug Beamon, one mile north of Cordell, OK at ~5:30 PM CDT on 10/09/2001. He was located about two hundred yards away from the tornado as moved north-northeast and he was driving south into Cordell
