Strong northwest flow aloft was present across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi valley during this period. A disturbance moved southward out of this flow into the Four State Region. Strong mid level lapse rates and elevated instability resulted in the development of strong to severe thunderstorms during the predawn hours of October 6th. The storms eventually developed into a Mesoscale Convective Complex producing large hail and widespread wind damage across portions of Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas as well as Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana.
