Rainfall Projection from Isaac

Isaac is set to cross the Arkansas border tonight with the threat of bringing flooding rain showers to the state.


After going over countless models and rainfall estimates, we've finally narrowed down our projections of Isaac.  As the remnants of the tropical depression move through Arkansas overnight  it will leave a trail of wet weather behind.  Given the fact that Isaac is now more on a northerly track, the highest concentration of rainfall looks to be in Eastern Arkansas.  Of course, Central Arkansas will certainly receive it's fair share of 2-4".  Across the entire state we could see anywhere from 1-5" with local amounts approaching 6".

                   (RPM model showing showers and heavy rain in Arkansas early Friday morning)
 
Rain bands will likely develop near the center and spread out to the east-northeast.  Overall, the wet weather should persist all the way into Friday morning before we begin to dry out. 

In terms of impact, you can expect delays on your way to work tomorrow morning and localized flooding in a few spots.  Friday night high school football games will be wet with occasional showers but at least it wont be as bad as what have in store for tonight.
