Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 5:13 am CST on January 6, 2009

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until noon CST today...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* 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.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

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