Time to go, police advise residents in part of North Little Rock

An evacuation recommendation was issued Saturday morning to residents in the Dixie Addition of North Little Rock, saying water levels are expected to rise in the area and remain at flood levels for "many days or even weeks."

City officials went door to door in the area near East Ninth and North C streets telling residents they should leave and seek shelter elsewhere.

The Arkansas River is expected to crest Tuesday in Little Rock, and 3-4 inches of rain is forecast for the area over the next seven days, according to meteorologist Lance Pyle with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.

In addition, 5-7 inches of rain is expected in Oklahoma and southern Kansas, which will make its way into the Arkansas River basin.
