From the National Weather Service:

Alert: FLOOD WATCH ISSUED JANUARY 30 AT 2:34PM CST UNTIL FEBRUARY 2 AT 4:00PM CST

  • WHAT - Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

  • WHERE - Portions of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, including the following counties and parishes, in Arkansas, Columbia, Hempstead, Lafayette, Little River, Miller, Nevada and Union. In Louisiana, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, De Soto, Grant, Jackson, La Salle, Lincoln, Natchitoches, Ouachita, Red River, Sabine, Union, Webster and Winn. In Texas, Angelina, Bowie, Camp, Cass, Cherokee, Gregg, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Nacogdoches, Panola, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Titus, Upshur and Wood.

  • WHEN - From Tuesday morning through Thursday afternoon.

  • 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. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

  • ADDITIONAL DETAILS…

  • Areas of rain will develop and begin to spread east across the region by mid to late morning Tuesday, and persist through much of the day Thursday before diminishing from west to east. Some of this rain may changeover to freezing rain at times across the western sections of East Texas into portions of Southwest Arkansas. Grounds remain very saturated in wake of extensive heavy rains that have fallen over the last week, with many creeks, bayous, and lakes rising to near or in excess of flood stage. Additional rainfall amounts of one to three inches, with isolated higher amounts, are expected through Thursday afternoon. This additional rainfall will quickly run off and generate new rises on area waterways, and possibly result in additional flooding.
