A strong upper low slowly pivoted towards Arkansas from Texas on the 28th. Abundant moisture streamed into the region ahead of the system, resulting in efficient rainfall rates over the northern half of the state once showers and thunderstorm initiated. Rainfall amounts of three to six inches was not uncommon, leading to flash flooding and river flooding.
