Garfield County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag

Enid, located in Garfield County in the Oklahoma Panhandle, sits at the convergence of Tornado Alley's most active severe weather corridor. The dryline, jet stream, and Gulf moisture interact over this region to produce intense supercell thunderstorms capable of generating large hail. Garfield County has a documented history of significant hail events in the National Weather Service record.

Type of damage

How urgent?

Hail season in Enid peaks from April through June, with May historically producing the most damaging large-hail events in Garfield County. Secondary activity occurs in March and July. These storms develop when warm, moist Gulf air collides with cold, dry air from the high plains, creating the atmospheric instability required for supercell development and severe hail.
