Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week brought endless rain to the Natural State. I even used the “recommendations” feature on my personal Facebook to ask where I could pick up an ark, as some people in Arkansas need one! Today also brought a round of Severe Weather to Arkansas with flood and Flash Flood Warnings to Central Arkansas, as well as a Tornado Warning in the Greers Ferry area. A Flood warning is still ongoing throughout the state. Here’s a look at this week’s rain totals on my CoCoRaHS rain gauge, a look at rain totals since midnight from Earth Networks weather stations, and Doppler radar rain estimates from the past 24 hours (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).
Here’s a look at the current high-res Arkansas Radar and regional high-res radar, as well as FutureScan for 10:05 PM. The rain is moving out of Garland County and slowly moving through the state.
Here’s a look at the temperatures over the past week on my Earth Networks weather station. We saw upper 70’s this week! It didn’t feel like winter! Temperatures are finally on their way down and getting closer to what we’d expect for February. Here’s also a look at the current conditions from my Earth Networks weather station, as well as temperatures across the state this evening from both Earth Networks and NWS weather stations.
Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs. More rain on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the 60’s for the most part.
Finally, here’s a look at some interesting weather news from the past week. In next week’s Weekly Wrap Up, I’ll also feature some of the top blog posts from our contributors over the past week:

Nathan, you beat us in terms of rain amounts but Michigan has had it’s share of flooding also. We rec’d a total of just under 3 inches here but west of us got much more. The flooding has finally started to recede but many folks are still under water. Prayers for all who are affected.
We’re praying for those affected as well. We received almost 7 trillion gallons of rain with this rain event. It’s a little more rain than we needed. 🙂
