| Episode Narrative | Very heavy rain began developing late on the 17th in northern and western Arkansas, and continued on the 18th as a powerful storm system approached from Texas. The system dredged copious moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, and sent it toward Arkansas with a deep southerly wind flow. Well above normal precipitable water was noted, which enhanced rainfall efficiency across the region. |
| Event Narrative | Arkansas Highway 395 north of Salem was closed due to high water. On Arkansas Highway 223 south of Viola, a 22-foot bridge collapsed due to flooding. Two people were rescued at Sadler Falls due to flooding. The South Fork River overflowed its banks in Salem and flooded a construction site for a new baseball complex. Water flooded 120 homes in the county. |
