WEATHER SUMMARY FOR ARKANSAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
925 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013
ACROSS THE NATURAL STATE ON MONDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPED AGAIN OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. ALSO A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WERE NOTED WITH GUSTY WINDS. THE COMBINATION
OF THE NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER NORTH CENTRAL
ARKANSAS...AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE HELPED DEVELOP THE
CONVECTION. HEAVY RAIN WAS ALSO SEEN IN SPOTS WITH LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING. ADAMS FIELD RECEIVED ALMOST AN INCH AND A HALF IN THE
EVENING HOURS...WHILE HARRISON HAD NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY. AFTER MORNING LOWS
MOSTLY IN THE 70S...MONDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES REACHED THE 90S OVER
SOUTHERN AREAS...WHILE THE 80S OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN LOCATIONS.
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
WITH HEAVY RAIN A POSSIBILITY. THE NORTH AND CENTRAL PART OF THE
STATE WILL LIKELY SEE THE HEAVIEST RAIN THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
BEFORE THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS SHIFTS SOUTH FOR WEDNESDAY. BY THE TIME
THE SYSTEM CLEARS THE STATE...WIDESPREAD TWO TO THREE INCHES WITH
LOCALLY MORE...WILL BE POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER AREAS THAT RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN.
MANY AREAS OF THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST HAVE SEEN TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS
OF RAIN OVER THE PAST WEEK AND CAN NOT TAKE MUCH MORE WATER FALLING
ON SATURATED GROUND. WITH THAT IN MIND...FLASH FLOOD WATCHES ARE IN
EFFECT FOR THE NORTH AND CENTRAL PARTS OF THE STATE THROUGH TUESDAY.
RAIN FALL HAS BEEN SCARCE OVER THE SOUTH AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
AS GREAT A CONCERN. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAIN WITH HIGH RAINFALL RATES
WILL BE POSSIBLE WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME FLASH FLOODING AS WELL.
ONCE THE SYSTEM DOES CLEAR...SEVERAL DAYS OF DRY WEATHER ARE
EXPECTED WITH COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS MOVING IN. TEMPERATURES
IN THE 80S AND 90S WILL BE REPLACED BY TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S
TO MID 80S DURING THE DAY AND 60S AT NIGHT. PARTS OF THE NORTH MAY
EVEN DIP INTO THE 50S.
