Thunderstorms became widespread across southeastern Oklahoma by early evening of the 24th, as a cold front moved slowly into the region. The moisture content of the air ahead of the cold front was unseasonably high, and the thunderstorms moved repeatedly across some of the same areas due to the middle and upper level winds being parallel to the front. Widespread rainfall continued through the morning hours of the 25th, with two to six inches of rain occurring across much of southeastern Oklahoma
