THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT VERY
SLOWLY NORTHWARD OVER TEXAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS A
WELL-DEFINED FRONT REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. A CONTINUOUS
FLOW OF MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
CONTINUE TO LIFT ALONG THE FRONT RESULTING IN MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL. ON FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING...THE HEAVY
RAIN WILL FOCUS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES WHERE
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF 2 TO 5 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS...WILL BE POSSIBLE. EVEN HIGHER AMOUNTS APPROACHING 10
INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST INCLUDING PORTIONS OF FAR
SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND COASTAL MISSISSIPPI. FARTHER
NORTH...LIGHTER RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF UP TO AN INCH OR TWO IS
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO THE
WESTERN OHIO VALLEY. FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT
ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS HEAVY RAINFALL OVER
AN ALREADY WATER-LOGGED REGION. LATER ON SATURDAY AND INTO EARLY
SUNDAY...HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD COME TO AN END AS THE UPPER-LEVEL
LOW WEAKENS AND MOISTURE FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO IS CUT OFF.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 300 PM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
