THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DRIFT NORTHWEST INTO
NORTHEASTERN TEXAS ON SUNDAY BEFORE MERGING WITH THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND THEN TURN NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS ARKANSAS INTO THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.  TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM
THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO FEED INTO THE
SYSTEM...RESULTING IN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF
THE LOW TRACK.  ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...ARE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF LOUISIANA AND
EASTERN TEXAS THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. FLASH FLOODING REMAINS A
SERIOUS CONCERN. THROUGH MONDAY...THE RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLASH FLOODING SHIFTS NORTHWARD TO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS
THE LOW MOVES NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 400 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
