* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.



* WHERE...Portions of Louisiana, including the following parishes, 

  Allen, Beauregard, Evangeline, Northern Calcasieu, Rapides and 

  Vernon and southeast Texas, including the following areas, Hardin, 

  Northern Jasper, Northern Newton, Northern Orange, Southern

* WHEN...From this evening through Monday evening.



* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, 

  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. 

  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur 

  in poor drainage and urban areas.



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Flow across the boundary will become favorable for moisture

    feed into storms and may result in areas of 3 to 5 inches of

    rainfall with isolated higher amounts possible. Southeast

    Texas and central Louisiana will be especially vulnerable to

    high rainfall rates and, or totals as water levels remain

    elevated from previous storm systems. Heavy downpours in a

    short time or training rainfall may result in urban flash

    flooding and may cause creeks, bayous and rivers to come out

    of their banks.
