A high-based supercell, with skeletal yet sharp texturing, seemed more fitting over the central High Plains than the red-dirt flatlands just northwest of the Oklahoma City metro. The wall cloud at left, though narrow and scuddy, rotated steadily. This caused concern that it might produce a tornado were the circulation to tighten up any further. Instead, a surge of outflow kicked past and under the low-level mesocyclone, causing a gustnado. Diving southeastward, the storm eventually would recover to produce a small, true tornado near Piedmont.
