Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening hours over Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and portions of Southeast Oklahoma on May 10th, near a residual weak surface boundary draped along the Red River from showers and thunderstorms that had developed earlier in the day over Central and Southern Oklahoma. This boundary and an upper level disturbance moving in from the west during peak heating resulting in the development of multiple severe thunderstorms that produced damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. This severe weather outbreak persisted into the early morning hours of May 11th where some flash flooding also occurred across portions of the region from excessive heavy rainfall.
