The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Post-Tropical Cyclone Beta moved ashore across portions of extreme Southeast Texas during the morning hours of September 23rd, with deep tropical moisture associated with this system continuing to spread northeast across much of Louisiana from the 21st to the 23rd. Periods of showers and embedded thunderstorms developed and spread across North Louisiana from the 21st through the 22nd ahead of Beta, resulting in widespread rainfall amounts of 1.50 to in excess of 3 inches, with additional rainfall amounts of 1.50 to 3 inches falling over this area as the remnants of Beta tracked northeast across Central Louisiana and Western Mississippi. Given the saturated grounds due to rains over the prior few days, localized flooding was observed in Sterlington in Northern Ouachita Parish.
