The front is expected to remain stationary, lingering across the
western Gulf Coast and Lower Mississippi Valley through Saturday
before moving eastward on Sunday. Continued thunderstorm activity
is expected throughout Saturday.  Expect 1-3 inches of additional
rainfall, with local amounts up to 5 inches, from Southeast Texas
across the Gulf Coast states into the Tennessee Valley by Saturday
evening. Flash flooding is possible within this region, especially
with saturated soils across portions of Texas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi. River flooding remains a concern through the
foreseeable future along the lower Mississippi River. 

The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
