Excessive Rainfall & Flash Flood Risk

Severe Weather Risk on Tuesday

Climate

A Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire Four State Region from 7 AM Tuesday through 7 AM on Wednesday due to the threat of excessive heavy rainfall on top of already saturated soils. Rainfall amounts during this timeframe will likely average between 2-4 inches with isolated higher totals of 5+ inches possible in some areas.

The threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding will return across the region on Tuesday into Tuesday night as the next major storm system arrives. Given already saturated soil conditions, flooding concerns will only be exacerbated with additional rises on area lakes and rivers also expected later this week and beyond.

In addition to the flooding rain potential on Tuesday, there is also a chance for some severe weather across the region. While the best chances will be across portions of Deep East Texas and Northwest Louisiana, the entire region is included in some level of risk. Damaging winds and large hail will be primary threats with a few tornadoes also possible during the afternoon and evening.

Here are the daily climate statistics for select cities across our Four State Region.
