...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for our Four-State area of southern
Arkansas, northern Louisiana, eastern Texas and southeast Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the Flood Watch through Wednesday.

A line of thunderstorms is greeting the day across I-30 at sunrise.
Brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds will continue to spread down our
I-49 corridor this morning toward Shreveport. Once heating builds,
we can expect the line of thunderstorms to build strength once again
with more heavy downpours, along with the potential for damaging
winds in the bowing segments. This activity will push toward
Natchitoches early this afternoon and finally out of our Louisiana
Parishes late this afternoon with a brief reprieve, before another
nocturnal thunderstorm complex arrives early on Wednesday morning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Scattered thunderstorms will likely be ongoing around daybreak once
again, The Flood Watch continues for all of the Four-State area through
Wednesday afternoon. Then late week, we can expect another weak cold
front to arrive early on Friday with more brief thunderstorm
activity affecting our area. Then the weekend still looks to see the
weak cool front become stationary west of I-49, effectively acting
as a focus of development for more areas of rainfall. We can expect
our rivers and bayous to see additional rises with minor river
flooding that may continue into next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time, but perhaps early this
afternoon and then again overnight in the predawn hours.
