...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of Louisiana, including the following parishes,
Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Evangeline, Lafayette, Northern
Acadia, Northern Calcasieu, Northern Jefferson Davis, Rapides,

* WHEN...Through Friday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A storm system will slowly move through the region Thursday
and Friday. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 6 inches is possible
with the potential for 6 to 12 inches locally. Southeast
Texas north of I-10 into south-central Louisiana has the
highest probability of seeing these higher totals. This will
fall on already saturated soils and with ongoing flooding and
or elevated water ways. Rainfall rates with the strongest
showers and storms will be in excess of 2 inches in one hour.
Another round of showers and storms will be possible later
Friday into early Saturday, but confidence is too low to
include in the watch at this time.
