Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 10:06 PM CST on January 5, 2009
... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Tuesday morning...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* portions of central Arkansas... southeast Arkansas and
southwest Arkansas... including the following areas... in
central Arkansas... Grant. In southeast Arkansas... Arkansas...
Bradley... Cleveland... Desha... Drew... Jefferson and Lincoln. In
southwest Arkansas... Calhoun... Clark... Dallas... Hot Spring...
Ouachita and Pike.
* Through Tuesday noon CST.
* A storm system will approach Arkansas from the southwest
tonight and pass to the south of the state Tuesday. This
system is expected to produce locally heavy rainfall of up to
two inches across parts of southern Arkansas. This
precipitation will fall on areas that are already saturated
and areas with dead or dormant vegetation unable to absorb the
water... therefore making flash flooding a possibility.
* Excessive rainfall will produce runoff problems due to an
already saturated ground. Flooding of low lying and poor
drainage areas will be possible... as well as rapid rises of
streams and low water crossings.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
