| Episode Narrative | Very heavy rain began developing late on the 17th in northern and western Arkansas, and continued on the 18th and early on the 19th 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 | Heavy rain caused the Saline River near Benton to go above flood stage. County roads along the river were flooded. Agricultural losses were primarily flooded pastures and the possible loss of a few head of cattle. |
