Flood Watch issued June 17 at 11:27AM CDT until June 18 at 7:00PM CDT by NWS Shreveport LA * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Louisiana, including the following parishes, Caldwell, Grant, La Salle, Natchitoches, Sabine and Winn and east Texas, including the following counties, Angelina, Nacogdoches, Sabine and San Augustine. * WHEN...Through Thursday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - As the remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur move north and east towards Central Louisiana overnight into early Thursday, rainfall associated with this decaying system could produce periods of excessive, heavy rainfall across portions of extreme Deep East Texas into West Central and East Central Louisiana. While the heaviest rainfall is forecast to remain south and east of the Flood Watch area through Thursday Evening, any westward shift to the track of the decaying storm could result in additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches. Given how wet soils currently are across these areas, any heavy rainfall could result in additional flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
