The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Another complex of showers and thunderstorms developed during the predawn hours of Tuesday, June 10th which resulted in a large area of heavy rain falling over the Sam Rayburn and lower Toledo Bend country of Deep East Texas and the southern sections of North Central Louisiana. These storms redeveloped and moved over the same areas early Tuesday morning, with widespread 3-6+ inches of rain falling over a 2-3 hour period. Thus, flash flooding was observed over southern Sabine and western Natchitoches Parishes, with at least a couple of roads being washed away in flood waters.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 9, 10:53 PM CST, 3 hours 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 1153 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 .AVIATION... FOR THE 10/06Z TAF ISSUE...A LINE OF SHWRS AND TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA...GENERALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF A KELD TO KJSO LINE. WITH THIS LINE OF CONVECTION...EXPECT A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS AS WELL AS MODERATE TO SEVERE TURBULENCE. THE CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY 10Z. FOLLOWING THE LINE OF STORMS...CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BEGIN TO DETERIORATE DUE TO THE MOIST ENVIRONMENT. MUCH OF THE FOUR STATE REGION WILL LIKELY BE MVFR/IFR BY 10Z. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO AT LEAST MVFR BY 15Z...BUT EXPECT SCATTERED TSTMS TO DEVELOP AS THE FINAL WAVE ROTATING AROUND A UPPER LOW PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. BY 11/00Z...MOST TERMINALS SHOULD BE VFR AS THE CONVECTION MOVES EAST OF THE REGION. SURFACE WIND SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 6 TO 10 KTS TONIGHT BECOMING WEST ON TUESDAY AND INCREASING UP TO 15 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 22 KTS. /14/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1008 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ DISCUSSION... BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION HAS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP AND AS OF 0245Z...THE LEADING EDGE WAS LOCATED FROM NEAR ALTO TX...TO KSHV...TO KELD. ATMOSPHERE IS LARGELY WORKED OVER FROM THIS MORNING/S MCS SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE CAPE TO WORK WITH. CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS BUT GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. ABUNDANT LOW LVL MOISTURE HAS ALSO LED TO SOME VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS...PARTICULARLY WITH A CLUSTER SW KSHV. STORM MOTIONS HAVE GENERALLY TO THE EAST BETWEEN 30-40 KTS SO THIS SHOULD ALSO HELP LIMIT ANY FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH IN OK SHOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ASCENT TO SUSTAIN THIS CONVECTION AND LIKELY INCREASE COVERAGE PARTICULARLY OVER THE ERN ZONES DURING THE OVERNIGHT HRS. HAVE ADJUSTED POP GRIDS BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS. LOWERED POPS BEHIND THIS NEW CONVECTION AS WELL AS ACROSS THE FAR ERN ZONES THROUGH 06Z. LIKELY POPS WERE MAINTAINED ACROSS THE SERN HALF OF THE AREA AND LOWER POPS IN THE NW AFTER 06Z. TEMPS HAVE ALREADY COOLED NEAR OR BELOW FCSTED MIN TEMPS SO HAVE ADJUSTED THOSE GRIDS AS WELL. TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY RISE A FEW DEGREES LATER TONIGHT ACROSS THE OUR LA PARISHES WHEN THE CONVECTION ARRIVES AND SFC DEWPOINTS INCREASE.
