Flood — Cleveland, OK

Sep 10, 2007

A weak cold front was located from northeast to southwest, draped over Oklahoma county during the early morning hours. Lift associated with the low-level jet and rich, abundant moisture allowed for very heavy rain to develop over parts of Oklahoma and Cleveland counties. Individual thunderstorms moved off to the east, but additional development to the west resulted in storms training over the same areas. As a result, a narrow band of two to four inches of rain fell over a three to four hour time
