A very heavy rainfall event on the 3rd caused the Cache River to overflow its banks. A potent storm system lifted out of the Southwest during the first few days of the year. An area of low pressure opened up as it entered the southern Plains. Widespread moderate to heavy rain fell between the 2nd and 4th. One to three inch totals were common during this time period, with isolated reports between four and five inches.
