Shortly after 3 p.m. (4 p.m. ET), the National Weather Service tweeted that a tornado "may be developing ... south of Perkins," which is about 50 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. Minutes later, a new message stated there had been a "brief tornado" reported that had "dissipated."

The service tweeted about a half-hour later there was a "developing tornado near Dibble," a community about 35 miles south of Oklahoma City. Minutes earlier, a post indicated a "dangerous tornado east of Ripley, which is 15 miles from Norman.
