What the National Weather Service wrote
Some severe and flood hazard, associated with convection from the 12th, lingered into the early morning hours of the 13th. By the afternoon, a few scattered storms developed in the vicinity of a remnant mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) as it translated across southwest into north-central Oklahoma. This convection produced a few reports of wind damage, large hail, and a brief (weak) tornado across portions of central Oklahoma.
