In June 2025, Arkansas experienced a period of active and unsettled weather, characterized by both excessive rainfall and severe weather threats.
Early in the month, from June 4-8, a stalled cold front brought persistent rain and thunderstorms across the state. Western and central Arkansas were expected to receive the highest rainfall while southern and northeastern areas anticipated lesser amounts. Severe weather chances increased for June 6-7, with a slight risk of severe weather in place. Northwest portions of the state experienced the bulk of the severe weather with 4 tornadoes occurring as well as other instances of damaging winds. On June 7th a series of storms moved eastward across the state and produced damaging wind gusts along the way.
Later in the month, from June 11-12, a two-fold risk of hazardous weather was present. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 3 inches was expected over much of central Arkansas, with local accumulations of 4 to 6 inches possible across western Arkansas. The flash flooding threat was expected to increase. There was also a conditional threat for severe weather.
