Flash Flood Watch Statement as of 10:19 PM CST on January 5, 2009
... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Tuesday
afternoon...
The National Weather Service in Shreveport continues the Flash
Flood Watch for
* portions of north central Louisiana and northwest Louisiana...
including the following areas... in north central Louisiana...
Caldwell... Grant... Jackson... La Salle... Lincoln... Ouachita...
Union la and Winn. In northwest Louisiana... Natchitoches and
Sabine la.
* Through Tuesday afternoon
* a series of upper level disturbances will combine with
increasing Gulf moisture along the low level jet across
southeast Texas and north central Louisiana... to yield
widespread areas of rain and isolated thunderstorms over
portions of deep East Texas... all of north Louisiana... and
south central Arkansas. These areas of rain and embedded
thunderstorms will yield locally heavy rainfall at times...
over areas that have received at least a half inch of rain
today over already saturated grounds.
* Additional rainfall amounts between 2 and 4 inches will be
possible tonight through Tuesday afternoon... which may result
in flash flooding.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued. Turn around... dont drown.

063 fxus64 kshv 060403 afdshv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Shreveport la 1003 PM CST Monday Jan 5 2009 Discussion... Have made minor temperature adjustments across the four state region this evening for the lows overnight by lowering just about every site by one or two degrees. This still keeps all locations above freezing...however there may be very brief mix of rain and sleet but depth of warmer air aloft over top of colder dome of air will kept those to a minimum. Disturbances aloft in the southwest flow still look to fill in the lack of rain over the southwest sections of the four state region. Adjustments to the gridded data have been made to match changes to temperatures and dew points. /06/ && Aviation... A stationary surface front extends from hattisburg Mississippi to Lafayette Louisiana. North of the front...widespread -ra showers have continued throughout most of the day and into the evening hours. Overrunning warm moist air associated with the subtropical jet stream flowing over a surface cold pool is the primary mechanism for this wet pattern. At this time...all terminal locations are reporting IFR conditions due to low ceilings. Conditions are not expected to improve over the next 12 hours. In fact...as the night progresses...cold air...significant ground moisture... and light winds may allow for reduced visibilities down to a mile in most locations. By 18z...conditions will improve from west to east as an upper-level disturbance moves across the region. Rain should end by 00z Wednesday. Afterwords...ceilings will gradually improve. && Preliminary point temps/pops... shv 38 52 39 60 39 / 100 80 20 0 0 mlu 39 49 40 58 38 / 100 100 40 10 0 deq 34 49 30 58 34 / 100 40 30 0 0 txk 34 50 37 58 37 / 100 60 30 0 0 eld 35 48 37 58 37 / 100 80 30 10 0 tyr 35 56 36 63 40 / 100 50 10 0 0 ggg 36 55 37 63 39 / 100 60 10 0 0 lfk 38 55 37 65 41 / 100 80 10 0 0 && Shv watches/warnings/advisories...
