...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR NORTH LOUISIANA EXCEPT FOR
THE NORTHWEST CORNER FOR TONIGHT...

AT 145 AM CST WEATHER SERVICE RADARS IN SHREVEPORT AND JACKSON
SHOWED A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
NORTH LOUISIANA AND PARTS OF SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS..SOUTHEAST TEXAS..
AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI. THE LARGE RAIN MAS WAS GENERALLY SOUTHEAST

ELSEWHERE MOST OF THE RAINS WERE OF LIGHT TO MODERATE INTENSITIES

RESULT OF THE RAINFALL OVER SATURATED SOILS WATER RUNOFF WILL

FLOODING MAY BE ON THE INCREASE UP THROUGH MID MORNING .1
