Rain Returns

It has been a long day since a day this wet across Central Arkansas. Rainfall totals as of 3pm Tuesday showing some spots already over 3", including Little Rock. By tonight, Little Rock will have had more rain today than all of September and October combined. Below are the 24 hour hour rainfall totals ending at 3pm.


The rain is caused by a slow moving front sliding across the State. A wave low pressure will move along that front bringing another surge of heavier rainfall tonight through early Wednesday morning. Computer models are showing the potential for 1 to 2 more inches of rain through tomorrow. Below is our high resolution computer rainfall forecast from Noon today through Noon Wednesday.


The overall severe threat with this system is low, mainly because of a lack of heating due. A few strong storms are possible over Southern Arkansas tonight in the warm air sector. The Storm Prediction Center has placed Southern portions of the State under a SLIGHT risk for severe storms with gusty winds as the main threat.


Rain will come to an end by Wednesday afternoon, with cooler and drier air moving in. Temperatures by Thursday morning will dip into the 30s in most spots.
