A surface low was accompanied by a stalled frontal boundary that extended near and along the Interstate 30 corridor of Southwest Arkansas, Southeast Oklahoma, and far Northeast Texas. Aloft, a closed low was positioned across eastern New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle with a trailing trough well south into northern and central Mexico. This pattern allowed for plentiful Pacific moisture to combine with Gulf of Mexico moisture to produce widespread heavy rainfall across these areas along and north of the Interstate 30 corridor beginning on February 7th. By February 8th, the very slow-moving nature of this system then posed a growing threat of flash flooding, with much of this region experiencing widespread 2-4 inches of rainfall with isolated higher amounts in excess of 6 inches. As a result, numerous reports of flash flooding reports were documented across parts of Southwest Arkansas on February 8th.
