After widespread rain and thunderstorms moved through during the predawn hours and weakened during the day, instability increased during the afternoon and intense thunderstorms developed along a stationary front across southern Oklahoma on the 6th. These storms moved slowly in a very moist environment causing heavy rainfall amounts and localized flooding and flash flooding. One severe wind gust was measured in Carter County but no damage was reported.
