What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 18, 8:33 PM CDT, 15 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
833 PM CDT MON APR 18 2016

.DISCUSSION...
PESKY MCV CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS NE TX THIS EVENING AND ALONG
THE RIGHT FLANK OF THIS VORTICITY MAXIMUM...WE ARE SEEING ENOUGH
ISENTROPIC LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH A 30KT LOW LEVEL JET THAT MODERATE
TO OCCASIONAL HEAVY SHOWERS CONTINUE TO TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME
GENERAL AREA...ACROSS EXTREME NW LA AND PORTIONS OF SW AR. AS A
RESULT...FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR CADDO AND
BOSSIER PARISHES IN NORTHWEST LOUISIANA WHERE SOME FLOODING IS
ALREADY OCCURRING WITH RAINFALL RATES NEAR ONE INCH PER HOUR NOW.

THESE MESOSCALE AREAS OF LIFT ARE TYPICALLY NOT WELL HANDLED BY
MODELS IF THEY PICK UP ON THEM AT ALL BUT SURPRISINGLY...THE
LATEST NAM OUTPUT HAS A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON THIS FEATURE AND THE
MODEL WEAKENS IT AFTER MIDNIGHT. ADJUSTED POPS UPWARD ACROSS
NORTHWEST LA AND SW AR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. NOT
CONFIDENT ON WHETHER OR NOT THE WEAK SCATTERED CONVECTION
CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS WILL MAKE IT INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES
OR NOT OVERNIGHT BUT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY AND GIVEN THE AMOUNT
OF RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF NE TX...WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN TACT FOR ALL
AREAS OVERNIGHT.

ALL OTHER GRIDS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE...NO OTHER CHANGES ATTM.
