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

* WHEN...From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon.
* 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. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A storm system will slowly move through the region Thursday
into Friday. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 5 inches is possible
with the potential for 5 to 9 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 Saturday, but confidence is too low to include in
the watch at this time.
