THE LARGE AND ANOMALOUS UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO IS
EXPECTED TO DRIFT VERY SLOWLY NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL MEXICO
TOWARD SOUTHERN TEXAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS A WELL-DEFINED
FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE NEAR EAST TEXAS AND INTO THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF WARM AND MOIST
UNSTABLE AIR FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL BE LIFTED ALONG THE
FRONT AND RESULT IN HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA FROM
THE WESTERN TO CENTRAL GULF COAST NORTHWARD INTO THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE FOCUS OF HEAVY
RAIN TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT WILL FOCUS OVER SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA
AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI WHERE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF 4 TO 6
INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...IS EXPECTED. BY FRIDAY
EVENING AND INTO SATURDAY...ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE IS FORECAST
TO MOVE ONSHORE ACROSS THE LOUISIANA COAST WHERE AN ADDITIONAL 2
TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN IS FORECAST. TOTAL ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING COULD EXCEED 10 INCHES IN SOUTHEASTERN
LOUISIANA. FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND EAST...PROGRESSIVELY LESSER
AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND FURTHER UP INTO
NEW ENGLAND. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A THREAT AS RAINFALL CONTINUES
TO FALL OVER ALREADY DELUGED AREAS.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 900 PM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
