A storm system wobbled from eastern Texas into southwest Arkansas in mid-September. Precipitation became widespread just to the north and east of the system late on the 15th in west central, central and northeast sections of the state. There was tropical moisture in place, making showers and thunderstorms more efficient rain-makers. Heavy rain continued swirling around the system across Arkansas on the 16th through the 18th.
