The advance of a slow-moving cold front pushed showers into Arkansas on the 3rd. The front became nearly stationary just to the southeast of the state on the 4th. Warm, moist air overran the cool air near the ground, resulting in widespread rain and a few thunderstorms from the 4th into the 5th. Rain was heavy at times. Rainfall for the 72-hour period ending at 7 AM on the 6th was greatest at the reporting station 8 miles west-southwest of Hampton (Calhoun Co.), where 6.60 inches of rain fell. S
