In northwest Oklahoma, Alfalfa, Blaine, Dewey, Major and Woods. In southwest Oklahoma, Caddo. In western Oklahoma, Custer and Washita.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
