The episode as NWS LZK wrote it up.
Heavy rain in early March brought flooding to the Black River in northeast Arkansas.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 7, 5:51 PM CST, 3 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 551 PM CST Mon Mar 7 2022 .AVIATION... Abundant clouds continue across the area this afternoon. MVFR conditions are in the north with VFR elsewhwere. Expect the clouds to thin out somewhat and light north winds tonight will become northeast late, and then east on Tuesday. Conditions will improve to VFR by morning. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 142 PM CST Mon Mar 7 2022) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Wednesday Night Clouds have been slow to erode today, limiting sunshine over a large portion of Central and Southern Arkansas. For this reason, temperatures have remained on the cool side at these locations. Current surface analysis shows the Cold Front well to the east of the Mississippi River with strong NW flow at the surface. Although the front will stall to the south of Arkansas, it will be the axis for a system to bring moisture back up from the Gulf. With the models keeping the front to our south and east the next 48 hours, this will limit the rain chances to mainly stay over South Arkansas Tuesday...transitioning to Eastern Arkansas by Tuesday night. Wednesday will be notably warmer with highs back in the 50s/60s and lows closer to 40. LONG TERM...Thursday Through Sunday High pressure is expected to control the first part of the long term period with dry and calm conditions. Looking towards the end of this week into Saturday, an upper level trough digs in towards the state. This will bring the chance for rain and the possibility of wintry weather. As of right now, it is too early to say what type of precip and where it might fall. My current thinking is northern AR has the best chance to see winter weather, although, central and southern AR could see a brief change over. What this will ultimately come down to is where the moisture is located when that cold air moves in. Right now, models diverge quite a bit on possible outcomes. Temperatures are expected to be above average early in the period before below average temperatures move in behind the cold front on Saturday. Expect highs to be in the upper 50s and 60s early then dropping into the 30s and 40s. A similar trend can be expected with low temperatures. Lows early in the period will be in the 30s and 40s before dropping into the 20s and 30s behind the cold front. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...51

However, no impacts are expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday Looking further out through the remainder of the week, more widespread colder temperatures will be possible by the end of the week and into the weekend. In fact, it appears that much of the state will be in danger of additional widespread hard freezes into mid-March. In addition to late-season hard freezes, some wintry precipitation may accompany the cold snap next weekend, with some snow fall possible over portions of northwestern Arkansas and the higher terrain of the Ozark Mountains. Impactful accumulations are not anticipated, and shifts in coverage and magnitude of expected wintry precipitation should be expected through the week. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web. Go to http://weather.gov/lzk.
