A low-pressure system and associated cold front resulted in heavy rainfall and flash flooding across parts of east Arkansas. Ample moisture provided the fuel for training storms which produced two to four inches of rain during the early afternoon along and west of the Mississippi River. The heavy rainfall axis then shifted east over a less saturated surface and the flooding threat diminished.
