- A mesoscale convective system was located over northeast
Oklahoma with copious amounts of moisture advection into the
state. Storms are expected to move very slowly or train over
the same locations. Given high precipitable water values in
place combined with storm motion, precipitation rates will be
efficient leading to flash flooding.
