The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is issuing a small craft advisory for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System in Arkansas. Heavy rainfall in Oklahoma andArkansas over the last 24 hours has resulted in Arkansas River flows exceeding 70,000 cubic feet per second at Ozark and Dardanelle.
Small craft advisories are issued when flows exceed 70,000 cubic feet per second. Strong currents and large debris can threaten the safety of pleasure craft during high flows.
Current flows at Ozark and Dardanelle are near 95,000 c.f.s. A crest
near 100,000 c.f.s will make its way downstream over the next few days.
