Heavy rains in the Twin Lakes Area over the last twenty-four hours have caused a 58-year old record for rainfall to be broken. The previous record for February 9 set in 1965 was 1.27 inches of rain. Thursdays new total has doubled that figure with 2.54 inches of rain recorded at KTLO, the official reporting station for the National Weather Service in Little Rock.
The area experienced heavy precipitation Wednesday as part of a system that began on Tuesday morning. Snow melt from the previous week had left the ground heavily saturated and reports of localized flooding effecting roadways were made in Marion County.
Another system Friday morning may bring more wintry mix, and rain chances return early next week. Stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits, and The Boot for the latest weather forecast updates.
