Small hail has been reported here in Miami, Oklahoma with other reports of quarter to half-dollar sized hail reported in Northern Ottawa County near the Kansas Boarder at Picher, and in Quapaw near Quapaw Casino. There were two auto accidents on Interstate 44 at mile markers 317 and 320, 4 and 7 miles from the gate at 313. Weather is suspected to be the cause of both accidents involving small vehicles. No injuries were reported. Conditions are right for additional development to progress slowly southwestward through the day. Tulsa, Okmulgee, Muskogee, Wagner, Pryor, and Bartlesville are reporting rainfall at this hour, some heavy at times. Hail and strong winds are the two major concerns this afternoon with additional retreat northward possible this evening into Miami and Ottawa County. It is not expected to persist, development will at some point become nonexistent when the atmosphere reaches a neutral status both in temperature structure, and in wind profile allowing for some recovery of temperatures by 3 PM. Convergence along a weak surface trough associated with the stalled front northeast is the primary cause of the thunderstorms ongoing. Southwesterly winds at the surface and rich supplies of Gulf moisture interacting with a slight turning to the east-southeast helping to add lifting to the atmosphere. This too will subside briefly before the other outflow boundary reaches the same areas this evening re-triggering development by Sunset. Monitoring is recommended. Brian R Cross.
