A hot, humid, and unstable air mass was in place across much of the Ark-La-Tex region on August 25th, which sat on the western periphery of an upper level ridge of high pressure that was anchored over the Tennessee Valley. An upper level disturbance rounded this ridge to the northwest over the region during the afternoon, contributing to the development of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over much of Southwest Arkansas, North Louisiana, and portions of East Texas. These storms continued to redevelop along outflow boundaries as they built westward during the afternoon and evening, but moved very little resulting in locally heavy rain falling over the same areas over an extended period of time. Given the already saturated grounds from an abnormally wet August, these heavy rains quickly ran off, resulting in areas of flash flooding across portions of extreme Northwest Louisiana and Southwest Arkansas. Widespread rainfall amounts of one to three inches, with isolated higher amounts near four inches, fell over much of North Louisiana, Southwest Arkansas, and portions of East Texas.
