(web | news) says flash flooding is likely as a major storm dumps more rain on areas already soaked by weeks of record-setting precipitation. Forecasters say 5 to 7 inches of rain is expected in parts of central and southern Arkansas through late Friday, with the heaviest rain on a line from Salem to Little Rock to Camden.
Areas east and west of that boundary should see 3 to 5 inches of rain.
Thursday afternoon, tornado warnings were issued for Grant, Cleveland, Dallas, Jefferson, Lafayette, Miller, Union, Calhoun and Ouachita counties. All warnings had expired by 5:00 p.m.
No serious injuries had been reported by Thursday evening.
