Statement as of 5:13 am CST on January 6, 2009 |

* portions of Arkansas... northwest Louisiana and Texas... including the following areas... in Arkansas... Columbia and Union AR. In northwest Louisiana... Bienville... Bossier... Caddo... Claiborne... De Soto... Red River and Webster. In Texas... Panola... Sabine TX... San Augustine and Shelby.
* Until noon CST today
* an upper level disturbance will combine with increasing Gulf moisture along the low level jet across southeast Texas and north central Louisiana... to yield widespread areas of rain and isolated thunderstorms over portions of deep East Texas... all of north Louisiana... and south central Arkansas. These areas of rain and embedded isolated thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall at times... over already saturated soil.
* Additional rainfall amounts between 2 and 4 inches will be possible today... which may result in flash flooding.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued. Turn around... dont drown.
