Severe Weather on August 25, 2007
 
Rainfall on 08/25/2007. Heavy rain spread into northwest Arkansas ahead of a weak cold front during the morning hours of August 25th. Over an inch of rain was common in the northwestern counties, with 2.23 inches at Fayetteville (Washington County) and 1.71 inches at Highfill (Benton County). Unfortunately, the rain did not go far.

Toward noon CDT, the rain mostly dissipated as it tried to penetrate into central sections of the state. Dry air was in place (dewpoints dropped into the upper 50s to mid 60s), which made it difficult to sustain any precipitation.

 

There was a lot of rain in northwest Arkansas as of 703 am CDT on 08/25/2007.

During the afternoon, the front pushed into southeast Arkansas and encountered a little more moisture. Isolated thunderstorms bubbled up quickly, with some severe weather. Just north and east of Monticello (Drew County), damaging straight-line winds downed trees and power lines.

Overall, the front did little to put a dent in a worsening drought across the region. However, the front did hold down temperatures in most areas...especially north and west of Little Rock (Pulaski County) with afternoon readings in the 80s. This was a break considering parts of the state were experiencing a near record warm August.
