...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE_THREATENING SITUATION...

  southwest, and western Arkansas, including the following areas, in
  central Arkansas, Conway, Faulkner, Garland, Grant, Lonoke,
  Northwest Yell County, Perry, Pope County Higher Elevations,

  Lower Elevations, Southeast Polk County Higher Elevations,
  Southern Johnson County, Southern and Eastern Logan County,
  Southwest Montgomery County Higher Elevations and Western and
  Northern Logan County.

* WHEN...Through Sunday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff from an extremely rare multi-day heavy
  rainfall event is expected to result in the flooding of rivers,
  creeks, steams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Extensive rare, and at times catastrophic, flash flooding is
  likely if forecast rainfall totals are realized. Flash flood water
  levels may reach areas that rarely or have never flooded before in
  addition to the threat faced by low-lying areas. The potential for
  rare flash flooding may pose a significant threat to life and
  property.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Continuing today, a multi-day heavy rainfall event will
    continue along a frontal boundary that will be lifting back
    north into Arkansas, eventually stalling over northern and
    western Arkansas tonight. While this boundary may drift
    northwest or southeast each day across the state, multiple
    rounds of heavy thunderstorms are expected to drop 6 to 10
    inches of rain across much of the flood watch area. Isolated
    pockets of 12 to 15 inches of rain are also possible,
    especially where heavy thunderstorms fall over the same area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
