...Significant Rainfall Expected Next Week...

Developing southwesterly flow with periodic disturbances will
cause rainfall episodes of moderate to heavy rainfall across the
area next week.

The latest forecast indicate rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches
through the week with locally higher amounts expected.

In addition to areal flooding, several river locations could
experience significant flooding as well. Current forecast
precipitation values suggest minor to moderate flooding within
many of our river basins across southwest Louisiana and southeast
Texas.

There is still some uncertainty regarding the overall magnitude of
potential flooding and the associated impacts, depending on where
and how often repeating rounds of heaviest rainfall occurs.
Details should become clearer as the event approaches and evolves
through the week.
