Parts of NW Arkansas have strange weather at times due to widely varying elevations of as much as 1,600 feet between hilltops and valleys. Depending largely on the intensity of, and direction the rain events come from, sometimes our little area gets "rain shadowed" by the higher elevations to the south. That has been happening lately from one event to another. About three weeks ago, the watershed to the SE got over two inches, making our river (upper White) nearly bank full, while we only got 0.3 inches.
