What happened

The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.

A quasi-stationary boundary lingered over Deep East Texas and Central Louisiana during the early morning hours of February 12th, before slowly lifting back north as a warm front to near the I-20 corridor of East Texas and North Louisiana from the late morning into early afternoon. Grounds were already saturated from widespread rains of an inch and a half to in excess of three inches that fell in the previous 24 hours, with the approach of an upper level disturbance over the Southern Plains yielding additional moderate to heavy rains along the warm front across portions of extreme Eastern Texas and Northwest Louisiana. Additional rainfall amounts of one to three inches fell across the Shreveport/Bossier City metro areas during the morning through the early afternoon hours on the 12th, resulting in localized flooding across portions of West Shreveport and North Bossier City.
