...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of Louisiana, including the following parishes,
  Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Evangeline, Northern Calcasieu,
  Rapides and Vernon and southeast Texas, including the following
  areas, Hardin, Northern Jasper, Northern Newton, Northern Orange,
  Southern Jasper, Southern Newton, Tyler and Upper Jefferson.

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Area creeks and
  streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Another upper level disturbance is expected to work with a
    very moist air mass to produce showers and thunderstorms this
    morning through this afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts
    will average between 1 and 4 inches with locally higher
    amounts. The rain will fall on already saturated grounds
    along with high water levels and flows in creeks, bayous, and
    drainage ditches increasing the flood potential.
