A storm system ("L") in or near Arkansas will be stuck between areas of high pressure ("H") over the southern Rockies and just off the mid-Atlantic Coast. Moisture from the remnants of tropical system Helene will get pulled toward the system, with heavy rain possible in northeast sections of the state.
Heavy to excessive (flooding) rain is expected from the Florida Gulf Coast to the Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians. Some areas could receive more than a foot of precipitation. Farther west, the forecast calls for two to three inches of rain in northeast Arkansas.
The heaviest rain will be over northeast Arkansas where to to three inch amounts are expected. Farther west toward Little Rock, half inch to inch totals are in the forecast. A tenth of an inch of rain or less will occur over far western and southern sections of thethe forecast calls for two to three inches of rain in northeast Arkansas.
Risks of destructive wind, severe weather/tornadoes, and catastrophic flooding will be well to the east of Arkansas during this event. However, there is a slight risk of flash flooding in northeast sections of the state.
