We don't expect high rainfall amounts with this system. Most areas should see around a quarter inch to just over an inch of rain.

A series of upper-level disturbances is headed our way, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and a marginal (1/5) risk for flash flooding on Monday. Expect an additional 1-2 inches of rain, with higher amounts possible in some storms. While the rain may be a hassle, it will provide much-needed relief to areas experiencing severe drought.

For areas like Arkansas, there’s a chance of a wintry mix early Monday. For us, expect a chilly rain on Monday afternoon that should taper off early Tuesday. A cold front will sweep in, bringing cool and dry air for a few days. However, this will be short-lived as another system is set to arrive later in the week.

After the storm passes, Tuesday afternoon highs barely escape the 40s. The rest of the week, highs will hover mainly in the 50s and 60s.

Keep an eye on those overnight temperatures—they’ll drop close to freezing , especially by early Wednesday.
