With Arkansas anticipated to see even more storms, flooding has become a primary concern. Here’s a list of roads and other areas that have closed due to flooding.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas has dealt with multiple rounds of severe weather this week, producing strong winds, heavy rain, and even tornadoes in some areas.
With the state seeing even more storms to close out the week, flooding has become a primary concern for parts of Arkansas.
On Saturday morning, a flash flood emergency was issued for parts of Arkansas due to the ongoing downpour.
The Jefferson County Office of Emergency Management issued a warning that the National Weather Service predicted the Arkansas River level at Pine Bluff will rise to approximately 44 feet by Tuesday, April 8.
