Widespread heavy rains occurred late on the 7th and through the morning of the 8th across northeast Oklahoma where a nearly stationary frontal boundary was in place. Deep moisture and modest instability allowed for numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop and move over the area, resulting in widespread flash flooding across Delaware, Ottawa, and Craig Counties. Intense thunderstorms developed during the afternoon south of the frontal boundary, where strong surface heating combined with deep moisture and instability. Large hail and damaging winds occurred with the stronger storms across parts of east central and southeast Oklahoma.
