LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — 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 western Arkansas this week has resulted in Arkansas River flows exceeding 70,000 cubic feet per second below Dardanelle Lock and Dam.
Small craft advisories are issued when flows exceed 70,000 c.f.s. Strong currents and large debris can threaten the safety of pleasure craft during high flows.
High flows should exit the area over the next few days.
