What happened

The episode as NWS LIX wrote it up.

A slow moving cold front was sagging south through Louisiana. Thunderstorms developed along and ahead of the boundary. Due to the slow movement of the front, storms were able to drop copious amounts of rain over portions of Ascension Parish, resulting in an isolated area of flash flooding.
