Flood — Adair, OK

Feb 21, 2018

Widespread showers and thunderstorms developed across much of eastern Oklahoma on the 20th as a cold front moved through the region. A very moist air mass in place ahead of the cold front promoted the development of heavy rainfall from some of this activity. Widespread two to five inches of rain fell across much of east central and southeastern Oklahoma through the morning hours of the 21st, which resulted in some flooding of low-lying areas as well as low water crossings.
