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

  Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Evangeline, Northern Calcasieu,
  Rapides and Vernon and southeast Texas, including the following
  areas, Hardin, Northern Jasper, Northern Newton, Northern Orange,

* WHEN...Through Friday 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
    starting before daybreak Friday into Friday 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.
