The radar
The Lake Charles radar (KLCH), 58 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:02 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Lake Charles Mun, LA (KLCH), launched 12:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 59 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
1030 AM CDT SAT OCT 31 2015
.UPDATE...
COORDINATED WITH SPC TO EXTEND TORNADO WATCH 526 FOR LOWER
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS UNTIL NOON. TORNADO WATCH 527 WILL
CONTINUE FOR PORTIONS OF UPPER SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND LOUISIANA
THROUGH 2 PM. WARM FRONT IS LOCATED FROM ROUGHLY SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA/SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI BORDER TO NEAR FORT POLK...WITH A
SURFACE WAVE AT THE TAIL END OF THE WARM FRONT NEAR FORT POLK. THE
SURFACE WAVE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ALONG THE WARM
FRONT...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE ALONG
WITH SQUALL LINE SOUTH OF THE SURFACE WAVE...WITH ISOLATED SPIN-
UPS. HELICITY VALUES RANGE FROM 450 M2/S2 TO 550 M2/S2 FROM 0-1 KM
AND 0-3 KM RESPECTIVELY. ALSO...EXPECTED DEVELOPING CELLS AHEAD OF
THE LINE COULD ALSO BRIEFLY PRODUCE BRIEF SPIN-UPS.
MEANWHILE...SECONDARY WAVE WILL BE MOVING OUT OF HOUSTON'S AREA
INTO LOWER SOUTHEAST TEXAS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING.
ALSO...PROBABILITY OF FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER ON THE 31/12Z UPPER AIR SOUNDING WAS
OVER 2.3 INCHES...WHICH IS WELL OVER TWICE THE STANDARD DEVIATION
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WE HAVE RECEIVED RELIABLE RAINFALL REPORTS
OF OVER 10 INCHES FOR PORTIONS OF JASPER AND HARDIN COUNTIES SINCE
THE OVERNIGHT.

AVIATION...
MOST CONVECTION HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE COASTAL TERMINALS...WITH
KAEX LOOKING TO BE UNDER THE GUN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS. TIMING
OF ACTIVITY AT THE COASTAL SITES WAS BASED ON A BLEND OF LATEST
GUIDANCE...AND REPRESENTED A BEST EFFORT TO NARROW DOWN THE TIME
PERIOD OF MOST LIKELY IMPACTS.

LATEST WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY/UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED AN
ELONGATED POSITIVELY TILTED TROF STRETCHING FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE SOUTHERN BAJA. TOW
DISTINCT SHORTWAVES/VORT MAXES ARE EVIDENT...ONE NEAR THE NORTH

TIME OF YEAR.

CURRENTLY LIFTING NORTH THROUGH CENTRAL LA...WITH AN UPSTREAM N-S
ORIENTED CDFNT NOTED OVER CENTRAL TX.
INITIAL ROUND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS UNDERWAY
ACROSS EAST TEXAS AND WESTERN/CENTRAL LOUISIANA...FUELED BY THE
AFOREMENTIONED LLJ AND RESULTING WAA REGIME...AND SUBTLE IMPULSES
TRANSLATING THROUGH THE SW MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW ALOFT. MOST
VIGOROUS CONVECTION THUS FAR OCCURRING OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS...BUT
THAT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE WITH THE NWD DEPARTURE OF THE WMFNT
ALLOWING FOR GREATER DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR WITHIN A STRONGLY
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. INSTABILITY IS PROGGED TO BE AN OVERALL
LIMITING FACTOR...ALONG WITH WINDS GRADUALLY VEERING WITH TIME
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROF. NONETHELESS...CONCUR WITH SPC
ASSESSMENT OF SVR POTENTIAL AND PLACEMENT OF ENTIRE AREA IN SLGT
RISK...WITH TORNADO/DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
HAZARDS. THE HIGH PWATS WILL ALSO RESULT IN CONVECTION BEING
VERY EFFICIENT AT RAIN PRODUCTION...WITH THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF
EXTREME RAINFALL RATES.
CDFNT...AND ASSOCIATED N-S BAND OF CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL TX...IS
PROGGED TO CONTINUE EASTWARD TODAY...THOUGH HOW QUICKLY REMAINS A
BIT UNCERTAIN WITH MODELS OFFERING VARIOUS SOLUTIONS AS THE BASE
OF THE UPPER TROF OUT WEST BEGINS TO CUT OFF AS IT PIVOTS THROUGH
WEST TX AND NRN MEXICO...AND A FRONTAL WAVE OR TWO DEVELOP AND
LIFT NORTH ALONG THE BOUNDARY. BOTH OF THESE WOULD TEND TO SLOW
THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION. A GENERAL CONSENSUS PUSHES THE BULK OF
THE RAINFALL OUT OF EAST TX AND WRN LA INTO CENTRAL/SOUTH
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST LA THIS EVENING...WITH THE FORECAST BECOMING A
LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THERE IS MORE OF A SPLIT
IN THE GUIDANCE. HAVE HELD OF EXTENDING THE FFA BEYOND ITS
CURRENT END TIME OF 7 PM...AND WILL LET THE DAY CREW FURTHER
EVALUATE HOW THINGS EVOLVE TODAY.
RAINS MAY LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS WELL...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN
AND EASTERN ZONES...BEFORE DRIER AIR FINALLY PUSHES IN SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
REST OF THE WEEK LOOKS UNEVENTFUL...WITH GOOD RAIN CHANCES
RETURNING TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND AS ANOTHER UPPER TROF APPROACHES.

LEVELS RUNNING ABOUT ONE TO TWO FEET ABOVE PREDICTED VALUES.
THESE ELEVATED WATER LEVELS WILL PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT UNTIL
