| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong but slow-moving low pressure system began its approach to Arkansas on the 23rd. Ahead of this low, unseasonably large amounts of moisture were drawn northward from the Gulf of Mexico. The approach of the low set off heavy rain and thunderstorms on the 23rd and 24th. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches were common for the two-day period. In a broad swath from southwest Arkansas through the central part of the state into northeast Arkansas, many places picked up 7 to 10 inches of rain. Flash flooding resulted initially, followed by areal flooding and river flooding. After the low passed by, colder air spilled into Arkansas. Light snow fell across parts of northern and western Arkansas from late on the 24th into the early morning hours of Christmas Day. Most snowfall amounts were in the 1/2 to 1 inch range, with spotty totals up to 2 inches. Though the amounts were rather small, hazardous driving conditions resulted. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A record rainfall for the date occurred when 4.60 inches of rain fell. More importantly, the rain that fell on the 23rd assured that 2009 would be the wettest year ever recorded in Little Rock. Total rainfall for the year was 81.79 inches, breaking the record of 75.54 inches set in 1882. |
