What the National Weather Service wrote
As the high-amplitude upper trough (the same as in episodes on the 2nd & 3rd) began to translate eastward, the final bout of a prolonged severe thunderstorm episode occurred from the early morning into early afternoon on the 4th. A small broken line of severe thunderstorms moved from southwest into central Oklahoma towards daybreak, producing a few reports of wind damage. As an attendant cold front accelerated eastward by the late morning, more thunderstorms developed, including a few supercells. A few brief/weak tornadoes and additional reports of thunderstorm wind damage were observed in south-central and eastern Oklahoma with this activity. From the late evening of the 2nd until the afternoon of the 4th, 26 tornadoes were recorded across Oklahoma, shattering the previous record for tornadoes in a single November (12, 1958).
