Jun 1, 2019
Moderate flooding continued through much of the first week of June along the Ouachita River at Monroe, due to much above normal rainfall that had fallen across much of the Ouachita River basin of Central and Southern Arkansas, and extreme Northern Louisiana since February 2019. Hotter temperatures and a prolonged period of drying resulted in the Ouachita River continuing to fall below flood stage throughout June.
