Description
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON 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, Southern Acadia, Southern Calcasieu, Southern Jefferson Davis, St. Landry, Upper St. Martin, Upper Vermilion and Vernon and southeast Texas, including the following areas, Hardin, Lower Jefferson, Northern Jasper, Northern Newton, Northern Orange, Southern Jasper, Southern Newton, Southern Orange, Tyler and Upper Jefferson.
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. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
