Another shortwave trough ejected east across the Ark-La-Tex from the morning through the afternoon hours on June 8th, beneath an upper low pressure system that lifted north from Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas into Southeast Kansas and Western Missouri. Showers and thunderstorms redeveloped during the pre-dawn hours across Southeast Oklahoma and adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas along a remnant surface boundary from earlier storms ahead of this next approaching trough, moving over already saturated grounds from heavy rainfall that fell a day prior across these areas. A warm, very moist, and unstable air mass was in place, with these storms very efficient rain producers, moving repeatedly over the same areas across Western and Central McCurtain County Oklahoma. Widespread rainfall amounts of 3-8 inches fell across this area, resulting in significant flash flooding.
Additional scattered severe thunderstorms developed later in the morning farther south across East Texas, which resulted in downed trees and even a few weak, short-lived tornadoes. These storms progressed into North Louisiana around midday, downing additional trees before exiting the region by mid-afternoon.
