257 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north central Louisiana,
northwest Louisiana, east Texas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

A complex of thunderstorms is developing across Oklahoma and has
approached the Four State area this afternoon and evening, some may
be severe with damaging winds primarily. Overnight, we may see a
second complex of thunderstorms arriving in southeast Oklahoma and
southern Arkansas by daybreak. These thunderstorms have been
progressive, but due to the widespread rains lately, flash flooding
may accompany the lightning and gusty winds with some heavy downpours
on our wet soils.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist to some
extent during midweek. However, the coverage and intensity of
thunderstorms should see a decrease each day through Thursday. Then,
we can expect another weak cold front to arrive on Friday with more
widespread thunderstorms affecting our area in this same night and or
day pattern. The weekend now looks to see the front become
stationary west of I-49, acting to focus areas of rainfall.
Additional rivers and bayous will see rises and minor flooding
continue into next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed.
