October Was Wet, But Was Not A Record

October was very, very wet in Arkansas, but
we don`t have a new record.
The National Weather Service says the rainfall total for the
month in the Little Rock area was 11.46 inches -- not
as much as the 14.03inches recorded there in 1984.
Over the past 30 years, normal October rainfall for central
Arkansas is 3.81 inches.
If the month had 32 days -- or a storm system had moved more
quickly -- some records might have been set since October ended
during a storm system.
October`s rainfall totals were the second-most ever recorded in
several parts of the state, the weather service said, but not a
record anywhere.
