LITTLE ROCK – The National Weather Service has issued flood warnings and watches across most of Arkansas as a slow-moving storm system continues to dump rain on the state Saturday. This amount of rain and heavier precipitation in south central Oklahoma could cause the Red River to flood during the next few weeks near Pecan Point.
At 7 p.m., on Friday, the East Fork Trinity River measured 12.27 feet high.
Flood stage at the dam is 357 feet. The rise above flood stage by Saturday afternoon should crest near 31.5 feet by early Tuesday morning.
So far this month, we have had 6.13 inches of rain at the Memphis global Airport, which puts us about 1.5 inches above average for the month.
