The Arkansas is melting <br />out the quickest of a\l basins. <br />Statewide line graph shows the snow <br />hydrographs peaked out in early April for <br />snow pack accumulation and we are down to <br />18. 19. and 20% of seasonal maximum at this <br />(X)int. <br />Snowmelt out was allected by the third week <br />in May. There were a few days in the 90- <br />degree range in l()\\er ele\'ations and above <br />freezing temperatures at high elevations <br />making snow melt around the elock. <br />We might be "out of the \\oods" in tenns of <br />snowmelt l100ding tor the year. <br />The stream 110ws \\ere high. banks \\ere full. <br />but the discharges weren't enough to get <br />much l100ding.
