THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO REMAIN IN EASTERN TEXAS OR
DRIFT SLOWLY INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.  TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
CONTINUE TO FEED INTO THE SYSTEM...RESULTING IN VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL TO THE SOUTH OF THE LOW TRACK.  ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS...ARE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF LOUISIANA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A SERIOUS CONCERN. MEANWHILE...A
COLD FRONT FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH AND
THEN MERGE WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LATER THIS WEEKEND. THE
THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL COULD SPREAD FARTHER NORTHWARD INTO THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON SUNDAY. 

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