...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CDT THIS MORNING 
FOR SOUTHWESTERN CALDWELL, GRANT, LA SALLE, SOUTHERN WINN AND 
NATCHITOCHES PARISHES...

At 613 AM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
that the rain was tapering off across the warned area. However, 
runoff from the earlier heavy rain continues and will result in the 
continued threat of flash flooding. Between 5 and 10 inches of rain 
have fallen since Friday, with isolated higher amounts in excess of 
12 inches measured near Bentley in Southern Grant Parish. Numerous 
roads are flooded and closed across Natchitoches and Grant Parishes. 
Flash flooding is already occurring.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing
         flash flooding.

SOURCE...Doppler radar and automated gauges.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
         urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Natchitoches, Winnfield, Jena, Colfax, Olla, Campti, Montgomery, 
  Midway, Allen, Urania, Provencal, Natchez, Clarence, Pollock, Dry 
  Prong, Tullos, Georgetown, Calvin, Robeline and Atlanta.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Dangerous flash flooding is occurring or is imminent. Do not attempt 
to travel unless you are fleeing flood waters. If you are in an area 
subject to flooding, move to higher ground now.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small 
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying 
spots.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you 
can do so safely.
