Areas of showers remained persistent across much of the Ark-La-Tex through much of the day on February 11th, along the subtropical jet stream that extended over much of Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley ahead of a strong upper level low pressure system just off the Northwest Baja California coast. These rains primed the already wet soils on the 11th, before the low pressure system began to eject northeast and become absorbed into a broad upper trough as it translated east across the Southern Rockies into the Southern Plains during much of the day on the 12th. As this trough approached, an axis of moderate to locally heavy rainfall developed over Northeast Texas and Southern Arkansas, with widespread rainfall amounts of 4-6 inches, with isolated higher amounts up to 8 inches, observed. This resulted in numerous instances of flash flooding across East and Northeast Texas, with numerous roads flooded and closed, and smaller creeks, streams, and bayous spilling above its banks. The flash flooding ended by afternoon as the rains ended, but continued runoff resulted in continued flooding near and along these waterways.
