An upper level low pressure system brought rainfall to southern portions of the Ozarks, mainly along and south of Interstate 44, as it moved across the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. The rain began during the afternoon of the 3rd and persisted through the early afternoon of the 4th, as it moved from west to east across the area. Two-day rainfall totals up to nearly two inches caused localized flooding of low water crossings in Douglas, Howell, Ozark and Shannon Counties.
