The synoptic pattern today features an upper ridge over the region but as we go into next week, the ridge should break down and a weak trough should build into the central United States. This trough could bring increased rain chances by late week with resultant slightly cooler afternoon high temperatures if increased clouds/precipitation pan out.
On this day, 47 years ago, flash flooding had devastating consequences across parts of Little Rock and Benton. The flash flooding led to 10 deaths and 70 injuries. Damage was estimated over $25 million (1978) = $123 million (today).
