Drought in Madison, Arkansas

A number of organized thunderstorm complexes affected northwestern Arkansas during the month of June, which resulted in widespread heavy rainfall across the region. Most of the area received between five and fifteen inches of rain, which corresponded to 150 to 300 percent of average monthly rainfall amounts. As a result of this abundant, widespread heavy rainfall, severe (D2) drought conditions across portions of Carroll, Madison, Crawford, and Franklin Counties improved to abnormally dry (D0) drought conditions or better by the end of the month. Monetary damage estimates as a result of the drought were not available.
