What happened
The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Tropical Storm Harvey emerged back over the Northwest Gulf of Mexico during the morning hours of August 28th, and intensified slightly as drifted northwest just off the Southeast Texas coast, eventually making a 3rd landfall near Cameron, Louisiana during the early morning hours of August 30th. After Harvey made landfall in far Southwest Louisiana during the early morning hours of August 30th, the more concentrated bands of heavy rain were concentrated on the northwest side of the center, which slowly drifted northeast into Central Louisiana during the afternoon and evening hours. Thus, more significant reports of flash flooding were received across Deep East Texas and Westcentral Louisiana, before drier air had begun to wrap around the center, thus reducing rainfall rates as the center moved into Northeast Louisiana during the early morning hours of August 31st. In addition to the widespread flooding, reports of downed trees and power lines were received over portions of Deep East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana, as some of the stronger squalls produced wind gusts to 35-40 mph with locally higher gusts atop already saturated grounds.
Here are the 4 day cumulative rainfall totals across portions of Northcentral Louisiana: In Bienville Parish, Arcadia 4.09 inches. In Bossier Parish, Koran 5.35 inches, Red River Research Station 4.82 inches, 4 S Bossier City 4.59 inches, 1 SSW Bossier City 3.48 inches, 5 E Benton 2.25 inches, 8 NNW Bossier City 2.12 inches.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1207 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Heavy rainfall with the potential of flash flooding continues
across much of our southern counties and parishes today with the
slow track of T.S. Storm Harvey over southwest LA at this time.
Flash Flood Warnings cover much of deep east Texas and adjacent
sections of northwest LA with the Flash Flood Watch in effect
farther north across our remaining north LA parishes. These
heavier rain bands will continue to train over many of the same
areas this afternoon with more expected farther north and east
with Harvey's current N/NE track. Expect Harvey to continue to
weaken with an eventual downgrade to tropical depression status
before moving into our extreme southern zones sometime later this
afternoon into this evening. Thus, the wind threat still remains
minimal at this point with 15-25 mph winds still possible with
higher gusts mainly over our southern and eastern zones. Also,
still watching the potential for quick spin-up tornadoes this
afternoon mainly across our north central/northeast LA parishes
with these areas on the eastern side of Harvey's track. For the
update, did adjust max temperatures and pops slightly to account
for current observations and trends going into the afternoon and
evening. Otherwise, no other changes are needed at this time. All
updated text products have been issued.
