Updates to the precipitation forecast include a decrease in overall rainfall across most locations in the state. The path of Francine continues to shift slightly to the east resulting in lower rainfall amounts. Still, locally heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will be possible.

Winds gusting to 30-35 mph are possible, mainly across eastern Arkansas, Thursday through Thursday night. The remnants of Tropical Storm Francine will continue to move north across the Mississippi Valley region. Continued localized heavy rainfall and flash flooding will be possible through Friday.
