THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NEAR THE ARK-LA-TEX
REGION TODAY AND THEN MOVE NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS ARKANSAS AND INTO
THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY MONDAY. MORE RAIN OF 1 TO 3
INCHES IS EXPECTED TO FALL FROM WESTERN LOUISIANA INTO EASTERN
TEXAS THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
ALTHOUGH THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BE SOMEWHAT LIGHTER THAN IN
PREVIOUS DAYS...FLASH FLOODING REMAINS A SERIOUS CONCERN AS RAIN
FALLS OVER SATURATED OR ALREADY FLOODED GROUND. THEREAFTER...THE
MAIN RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL SHIFT
NORTHWARD TO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS THE LOW MOVES
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT. TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 5 TO 8 INCHES ARE FORECAST FOR ARKANSAS NORTHEASTWARD
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. IN THE
MEANTIME...SOME AREAS OF LOUISIANA MAY RECEIVE ANOTHER INCH OR SO
OF RAIN ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD
CAUSE MORE FLOODING.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 1000 AM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
