In advance of the coming tornado outbreak, during the morning of June 13, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued a Moderate Risk for parts of Kansas and Nebraska.

[3] In the eastern United States, the SPC warned of the threat of bow echoes producing damaging winds.

Parallel winds from low-to-mid levels combined with BRN shears predicted to around 30 indicated that bow echoes would be the primary threat.

The wind shear profile along and just northeast of the front, particularly in the Moderate Risk area, presented a favorable environment for supercells along with tornadoes.

SPC forecasters noted the chance of more isolated severe storms along the dryline/cold front into western Oklahoma by the late afternoon.

[6][7] Another tornado would not touch down in the state until the later in the afternoon, when severe thunderstorms initiated across south-central Nebraska in great part due to the presence of a strong jet stream and a north-bound warm front.

A semi-truck driver and a family of three, finding no path of escape, abandoned their vehicles to take cover in a ditch.

While they survived with minor injuries despite the tornado passing almost directly overhead, their vehicles were not so fortunate, and the truck's cargo, composed of ice cream, was completely ruined.

[8] In Lincoln County, a tornado touched down about five miles south-southwest of Maxwell before coming into contact with Maranatha Bible Camp.

[10] Multiple other tornadoes occurred during the outbreak that went on to cause little or no damage, and by the end of the day, no tornado-related injuries or fatalities had been reported in the state.

The tornado destroyed the western half of a church in this area after it knocked down its walls on three sides and threw part of its roof at a house which resultantly suffered major damage.

An RV was thrown into a house, a car flipped, trees were knocked down, and pieces of shingles and roof decking were blown away.

At Frontier City, the tornado damaged vehicles in the parking lot and caused the exterior of a concrete-block building to partly collapse while simultaneously taking its roof off.

East of Interstate 35, a Texaco suffered significant damage, and the tornado lifted and rolled empty semi-truck trailers in the parking lot.

In the Nottingham and Quail Ridge Run subdivisions, extensive damage was caused to homes' windows, roofs, and garage doors.

Part of the North Oklahoma City area was closed to nonresidents, and the Red Cross set up an emergency shelter at a church in the vicinity to help those in need.
