Widespread showers and thunderstorms developed into northwestern Arkansas during the early morning hours of the 6th, as a low-level jet increased across the area, lifting warm and very moist air up and over a slow-moving cold front. The front eventually stalled over southeastern Oklahoma and west central Arkansas, with continued thunderstorm development north of it through the day. A large area of northwest Arkansas received between five and eight inches of rain during this event, with portions of Benton, Washington, and Carroll Counties receiving up to thirteen inches. Widespread flash flooding occurred in Benton and Washington Counties, with numerous roads closed due to high water.
