A weak upper level trough of low pressure lingered over portions of Western Arkansas, Southeast Oklahoma, and North Texas on August 20th, which was reinforced by another upper level trough and associated weak cold front. Showers and embedded thunderstorms developed near and just ahead of the trough and weak cold front during the pre-dawn hours, which moved into portions of extreme Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma by mid-morning. Given the very moist air mass and weak wind shear in place, these showers and embedded thunderstorms produced locally heavy rainfall and moved very slowly over these areas, resulting in rainfall amounts of an inch and a half to in excess of three inches over Northern Red River County Texas into Western and Northern McCurtain County Oklahoma. Given the saturated grounds due to excessive rainfall amounts of five to in excess of eight inches that fell during the previous two weeks, numerous roads were flooded near the community of Watson in Northern McCurtain County Oklahoma.

A deep fetch of tropical moisture streaming northeastward across New Mexico ahead of Hurricane Newton combined with strong afternoon heating and instability to produce several strong thunderstorms with heavy rainfall. Showers and storms moved over the same areas repeatedly as linear segments set up across the area. The most significant rainfall occurred over Mora County where several rounds of torrential rainfall occurred for several hours. A large swath of rainfall estimates of three to five inches east of Wagon Mound and Watrous led to a massive rise on the Canadian River near Sanchez. Arroyos, small streams, and culverts leading into the Canadian River upstream around state roads 271 and 120 were flooded. The flood wave reached the river gage nearly 12 hours later and resulted in a massive rise of nine feet in just 15 minutes.
