Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week was another hot week for the Natural State, with a little bit of rain during the week. This morning, Hot Springs did receive a nice storm bringing over an inch of rain to the area (the official rain total will be in next week’s Weekly Wrap Up). Here’s a look at the other rain totals from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs over the past week.
