The Kenton Mesonet site reported a low temperature of -6 °F.

A cold front brought freezing rain and snow to the northwest, which later turned to all snow behind the front. Snowfall amounts ranged from a trace to 6 inches in Ellis, Harper, Woods, and Woodward counties.

The state’s high temperature for the month, 87 degrees, occurred at Altus (Jackson) on the 2nd, setting a new statewide record high for that date. The previous high temperature for February 2nd was 86 degrees and was measured at two locations: El Reno in 1911 and Hollis in 1995.

Thunderstorms in advance of an associated cold front produced strong winds, but spotty rainfall. Mesonet stations near Medicine Park (Comanche) and Grandfield (Tillman) each reported peak winds of 68 miles per hour on the evening of the 8th. Early morning on the 9th saw gusts of 64 miles per hour at the Ketchum Ranch site near Velma (Stephens) and 62 miles per hour near Walters (Cotton), Lone Grove (Carter), Maud (Pottawatomie), Kingston (Marshall) and Calera (Bryan). A man was killed when boat docks and other structures were badly damaged by strong winds that raked a marina at Catfish Bay on Lake Texoma. Behind the front, Kenton (Cimarron) reported 8 inches of snow. 4 inches of snow fell at Boise City (Cimarron) and Turpin (Beaver). Various forms of winter precipitation were reported elsewhere in the state.

Fort Supply reported the lowest temperature for February 2001, 2°F.

Hail the size of softballs was reported in Osage County on the same day that an EF1 tornado touched down in Logan County (damaging a few homes and trees), an EF2 tornado struck Edmond (severely damaging several houses and injuring one person), and an EF4 hit Lone Grove. Three other weak tornadoes were reported on this day, with little damage reported. The Lone Grove tornado was February’s first violent tornado since accurate statistics began in 1950, killing 8 and injuring 46 others. This tornado was also the state’s first killer tornado during the month of February since 1975, and the strongest since two F3 tornadoes struck in 1961. The six confirmed tornadoes on this day tie it with 1975 for the most tornadoes in the state during the month of February.

Flash flooding was reported late on the 10th and early on the 11th, as storms dropped close to 4 inches of rain in the northeast corner of the state.

Rain, sleet, and snow all found their way into the weather picture from the 13th through the 17th. Freezing rain and drizzle plagued many areas with a coat of ice, but heavy rain falling on saturated ground produced flooding in several areas. Flash flooding was reported near Davis (Murray). Flooding was reported in McCurtain and LeFlore counties, particularly along the Little and Poteau rivers and their tributaries. Three inches of rain were commonplace throughout the southeast. Hochatown (McCurtain) accumulated 8.86 inches of rain during the five-day period. Other reports from McCurtain County included: 7.68 inches just north of Broken Bow, 7.49 inches at Carnasaw Tower, 6.45 inches at Carter Tower, 6.44 inches at Idabel, 6.00 inches at Valliant, 5.82 inches at Smithville, and 5.50 inches at Battiest. Heavener and Page in LeFlore County reported 5.93 inches and 4.91 inches of rain, respectively.

A fast-moving squall line associated with a strong arctic cold front crossed the state from west to east on the evening of the 18th into the morning of the 19th. Several severe thunderstorms spawned high winds and nickel-sized hail in south-central and eastern Oklahoma. The greatest rainfall totals were 1.76 inches at Wilburton Mesonet (Latimer), 1.60 inches at Coleman (Johnston), 1.52 inches at Wilburton (Latimer), and 1.50 inches at Antlers Mesonet (Pushmataha). This was the last precipitation of any significance in the state during February.

Highs reached the 60s and 70s across the state.

Altus and Mangum’s high temperatures reached 81°F, contributing to the extreme fire danger conditions, along with gusts to 50 miles per hour.

Daily maximum temperatures, statewide, were 61 degrees or more. The Hollis (Harmon) Mesonet site had the highest daily maximum temperature of 77 °F.

Upper Spavinaw State Park (Delaware) had a two-day precipitation total of 4.45 inches. Peak winds reported with the storm system included 68 miles per hour at the Putnam site (Dewey). Thirty-six of the state's 115 Mesonet sites reported peak winds greater than 50 miles per hour.

After the state experienced unseasonably warm temperatures, a powerful cold front roared through the state. Northerly winds gusting to 35 mph combined with temperatures in the teens and 20s to produce wind chills close to zero in some parts of the state.

February went out with one last winter storm. Kenton recorded 4 inches of snow. Haskell (Muskogee) reported 2.97 inches of rain. Sleet or freezing rain fell in many areas. Flooding was reported in Delaware County near Grand Lake and the Neosho river left its banks for a time near Commerce (Ottawa).
