Drought — Union, Arkansas

2024-11-01 to 2024-11-30 · Union, Arkansas

Wider weather episode

Severe (D2) drought conditions continued across Union County Arkansas throughout all of November. This was in response to a flash drought that resulted from an exceptionally hot and dry period during late summer, beginning in August with well below normal rainfall and an extended period of upper 90s to triple-digit high temperatures. The total rainfall amounts during this late summer period into the early fall were only near 25% of normal or less. This dryness contributed to lower than normal streamflow observed across area creeks, streams, and rivers through the end of November.
