The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
A weak stationary front extended from Eastern Oklahoma across Northeast Texas and North Louisiana during the afternoon hours of September 1st. Meanwhile, a shortwave trough shifted east across Oklahoma and North Texas, atop the stalled front during the afternoon and evening. This trough enhanced large scale forcing along the front, with pockets of differential heating resulting in needed instability to enhance shower and thunderstorm development. A band of near stationary thunderstorms developed over the city of Center in Central Shelby County, resulting in flash flooding where several vehicles stalled in high water.
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 Sep 1, 2:18 PM CST, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 318 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday Night) Issued at 233 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 A rather ill-defined stationary front is located from Northeast Oklahoma, into the ArkLaTex, and southward towards Fort Polk. Aloft, a shortwave trough is located over Central Oklahoma and has helped initiate scattered convection across much of the forecast area on both sides of the frontal boundary, but especially across East Texas. Differential heating where the clouds broke earlier today have resulted in scattered pockets of higher instability, particularly in Southwest Arkansas and Northeast Texas, and these pockets are where the strongest storms should be located. Severe weather is not anticipated, but gusty winds and small hail will be possible. If any of the storms begin to train while producing heavy rainfall, a localized flooding threat may become an issue. The convection should begin to diminish around or just after sunset this evening, but a few showers and storms will probably persist through the overnight hours north of Interstate 30 given the proximity of the shortwave and the diffuse frontal boundary. The center of the shortwave is expected to strength slightly while moving northeast into Missouri on Friday. The axis of the trough will trail back to the southwest across the Southern Plains and should move into the forecast area during the day, likely near the I-30 corridor around noon, and will eventually stall. With the diffuse surface front still in the area, there will be plenty of ascent for more scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms on Friday. A general repeat of today is expected as far as storm mode, but convective coverage should be greater and slightly farther east into the forecast area compared to today. Similar to tonight, most of the showers and storms will diminish with the loss of diurnal heating, but chance PoPs are still warranted through Friday night/Saturday morning in Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas. CN && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through next Wednesday) Issued at 233 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 Some subtle changes beginning to iron out in the long term picture, but a good soaking remains to start the month and our holiday weekend with some signs of improvement for Labor day as heavier amounts shift across our parishes. The WPC excessive rainfall outlook for days 2 into 3 shifts the Slight Risk area from NE TX to mainly Gulf coastal areas from Brownsville to New Orleans for Saturday with cool pooling and the further modifying OH valley air mass of late. The marginal contour remains over all of area, but this does show some progression of greater flooding threat risk out of area for the weekend. The storm motion of all this abundant convective activity will continue to remain slow, as it should this time of year, and is why the marginal remains along with our well soaked soils. Coverage of thunderstorm activity in our area will begin to shift out especially by midweek. The biggest difference from yesterday is that our MS River valley troughing remains and slowly fills, but will not be reinforced with the powerful short wave rotating around the heat ridge. Yesterday this feature moved over the intermountain west over the weekend and then dropped it down the face of the ridge into the southern plains. Now the new model runs carry this short wave eastward into the midWest. However, a new weakness may eventually redevelop in the lower MS River valley if you favor the ECMWF. Meanwhile, the GFS has different ideas with that parent upper low well offshore of the Atlantic seaboard instead of ECMWFs locale in PA Dutch country, with high pressure aloft associated with the pinched off Bermuda high building in over much of the Gulf of Mexico late in the period. Until then we will continue with lows seeing a few upper 60s north, but mostly lower 70s areawide to start each day. Our highs will range from lower to mid 80s back into the upper 80s by late week if GFS works out. /24/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 Scattered convection is rapidly developing across the area and additional development is likely early in the period, especially west of a line from KDEQ, to KSHV, to KAQV. The showers and thunderstorms should gradually diminish during the evening hours, but some convection will likely persist overnight. More showers and thunderstorms are expected after 02/12z, likely spreading southeast and becoming widespread across most of the area through the end of the period. Otherwise, VFR flight conditions are generally expected to prevail away from the precip, but there could be some patchy MVFR ceilings and visibilities between 01/09z-02/14z, especially along and south of Interstate 20.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon with daytime heating and a weak, but moisture laden upper level trough over the middle Red River valley. Some of these slow moving storms will be capable of producing locally heavy downpours which could result in flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas. Coverage will focus on eastern Texas today and to some extent during the overnight hours. Gusty winds and dangerous lightning will accompany any heavy downpours. If thunder roars, go indoors will be a good holiday weekend motto. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue on Friday for all of our four state area, through the upcoming weekend and into much of next week as well as the upper level low continues to slide to the south and east. The minor flooding threat will continue across mainly in Northeast Texas and over into Texarkana and Shreveport metro areas through early Saturday, but shift to the south and east over the weekend into more of our parishes. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation for minor flooding may be needed this afternoon and again on Friday. 24
