Several inches of rain can be expected through Wednesday morning across Eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. A flood watch is in effect, so please be mindful of rising water in flood prone areas. It wouldn't surprise me to see most locations pick up between 3 and 6 inches of rain; however, when you add in thunderstorms, some isolated spots could see rainfall totals approaching 7 inches!

So far this month the River Valley has seen the highest totals of precipitation. Fort Smith has already picked up 5.66" of rain as of Monday, March 17th, and that's already 1.72" above the average for the month. Here are some records to keep in mind as the rain is falling:
