| 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 | Localized flooding was reported across the county. The Health Department and Civic Center in Marshall had minor flooding in the building, Arkansas Highway 333 at Gilbert was blocked due to flooding. Part of Arkansas Highway 74 near Calf Creek was washed out. |
