Wow.. from TUL disco this afternoon:

WITH THE FRONT HANGING UP OVER EASTERN OK AND WESTERN AR...THESE

AREAS COULD RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL...ALONG WITH THE

POTENTIAL FOR LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING.

WIDESPREAD RAIN AMOUNTS OVER 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FROM SOUTHEAST

OK UP INTO NORTHWEST AR...AND SOME ISOLATED SPOTS COULD PICK UP

AROUND 10 INCHES.

Thank goodness I live on a hill! It is Spring Break week. This is very serious.

"Hearing that swift water rescue teams have been put on standby for this week by Dept of Emergency Mgmt in anticipation of flooding.

Very strong wording and warning from latest NWS discussion: "A LOT OF THE RIVERS IN OUR AREA ARE FORECAST TO REACH FLOOD STAGE...

SOME MAJOR OR POSSIBLY RECORD. THIS WILL BE A HUGE AND POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC WATER EVENT FOLKS...SO PREPARE ACCORDINGLY."

"From the National Weather Service office in Tulsa... "A significant and life-threatening heavy rainfall event will unfold over eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas early this week... Widespread and potentially catastrophic areal flooding and river flooding is expected." They have replaced the FLOOD WATCH with a FLASH FLOOD WATCH. Forecast rainfall totals of 4-8" are likely with some spots possibly receiving 12-15". Prepare for a dangerous, life-threatening situation today. If you are in a low lying area prone to flooding, have a plan today on evacuations and where you can go. This could be on the lines of last year's historic flooding in NWA. This will be an area wide event."

The wording, especially out of the Tulsa office, is very disconcerting. That office is much more conservative generally in their analysis of upcoming major weather events. The fact that they are really hammering the flooding threat is a very real sign we have a wet and potentially life threatening week ahead. I hope the public is paying attention.

Not looking forward to this. My husband has to get through downtown Fort Smith to get to and from work, and it floods like crazy during a "normal" heavy rain. Thankfully I'm on a bit of a hill, so I'm not terribly worried about my property.

Looks like maybe 9" down that way with probably more and it's still raining in some places at the end of the NAM run.

Yea. The river front area is horrible during flooding. I'm anticipating bad things for the downtown area. I live by the mall on a hill so I am not worried for my property. But I do feel the severe threat is being overlooked by our local mets due to the flooding potential.
