Arkansas Storm Team Forecast: Flooding chances are on the rise Monday
Forecast trends have changed for Monday, and the Arkansas Storm Team has remained vigilant in following these trends and ensuring the most up-to-date forecast is delivered. Forecast models are now hinting at a likelihood of a band of heavy rainfall setting up shop early Monday morning into Monday afternoon and early evening. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely, also adding risk to the morning commute on Monday. It's recommended to add some extra time to the morning commute on Monday in expectation of these showers and thunderstorms.
With this heavy band of showers and storms likely to train (i.e., back-build with rain continuing to push over the same areas), the risk of flooding and flash flooding is elevated for Monday. It's important to remember to remain weather aware, have multiple ways to receive advisories and warnings for your location (downloading the Arkansas Storm Team App and turning on notifications is one way to do this), and if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around and find a new route. While Arkansas needs rain, and this rain could help our ongoing drought, it still comes with hazards.
Up to 5 inches of rainfall is possible by Monday evening from these numerous showers and storms. Exactly who sees the most rainfall is still up in the air, so it's recommended that everyone in central Arkansas be ready for a rainy Monday, leading to a flooding risk. Highs on Monday will be in the low 80s due to the rain and cloud cover expected. The Arkansas Storm Team will continue to monitor the forecast and bring the latest updates both online and on air.
