Weather Alert Update: 03/23/2021 - The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch at 342 AM CDT Tue, Mar 23, 2021.
A slow-moving cold front will move into the region today and stall over southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi through Wednesday. It will lift north Thursday and a second cold front will finally push through late Thursday or Thursday evening. Multiple rounds of moderate to heavy rain are expected with widespread rainfall totals
of 4 to 8 inches.
Locally higher amounts will be possible.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:
Do not enter or cross flowing water or water of unknown depth.
Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.
Please be aware that ongoing, southwest/northeast-aligned bands of convection over
southeast TX and southwestern LA are merging into the position of the eastern corridor, as the TX/western LA activity proceeds eastward along its own outflow. The eastern band has contained transient supercells and poses a marginal threat for a tornado or damaging gust the next few hours.
