Eastern TX/AR/LA flood threat


Recommended Posts

The flooding is going to be historic in places. The 00z ECWMF gives a large swath of the area 12" of rain with a bullseye of 17.4".

 

and the 12z GFS remains active after day 10....this will be a developing story as time goes on

 

the lower Red/Atchafalaya and lower MS rivers 

 

might be interesting how the flood control will work out at Red River landing if both rivers go into major flood

Shreveport radar is undoing the total rainfall so far by 40-50%. Shreveport (DTN) has 3.1" as of 7 pm CDT. SHV 3.41" Minden Airport to the east has 4.5" radar showing ~2" and ~3" at those locales currently. Likely 6-7"+ to the SE of the city now.

This incoming batch could bring another couple inches to East Texas pushing some totals up near or above the 10" mark. I heard many reports of people unable to get to work this morning and saw some houses along US 69 just north of Tyler with water up to at least the back walls.

This AFD explains it all NOWCAST time...not looki ng good along TX coast for NW  LA if radar trends continue and the training band sets up further northwest west then the models inlcuding the last RAP forecast predict

lets see if convection develops south saving them

 

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA  
402 PM CST WED MAR 9 2016  
   
DISCUSSION
 
 
MAJOR TO NEAR RECORD FLASH FLOODING IS ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE  
AREA ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 IN EAST TEXAS AND  
LOUISIANA. SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN CADDO AND BOSSIER PARISHES HAVE  
RECORDED OVER 10 INCHES OF RAINFALL AS OF 8 AM CST THIS MORNING  
AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO RAIN ALL DAY TODAY. MULTIPLE FLASH FLOOD  
EMERGENCIES ARE IN EFFECT AND A FEW RIVER AND LAKES ARE ALREADY  
EXPECTED TO APPROACH OR EXCEED RECORD STAGE LEVELS.  
UNFORTUNATELY...MORE HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED.  
 
AS OF 2130Z...THE HEAVIEST RAIN IN THE CWA IS GENERALLY EAST OF  
A LINE FROM TOLEDO BEND TO EL DORADO ARKANSAS. SOME OF THE HIGHER  
RESOLUTION MODELS SUGGEST THIS WILL BE WHERE THE AXIS OF HEAVY  
RAIN WILL REMAIN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HOWEVER...THE HRRR PLACES  
THE AXIS ABOUT 50 MILES FARTHER WEST. LOOKING AT RADAR LOOPS OVER  
THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS...A LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN IS LOCATED  
BETWEEN INTERSTATE 35 AND 45 SOUTH OF DALLAS/FORT WORTH AND MORE  
STRONG CONVECTION IS JUST OFFSHORE BETWEEN MATAGORDA BAY AND  
GALVESTON ALONG THE TEXAS COAST. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY IS MOVING  
WITH A NOTABLE NORTHWARD COMPONENT. UNLESS THERE IS SOME  
CONVECTIVE FORCING ALONG THE COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA OR  
SOME KIND OF MCV DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THESE COMPLEXES...I AM  
DOUBTFUL OF THE MORE EASTWARD PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVY RAIN AS  
SUPPORTED BY THE ARW AND A FEW OF THE HI-RES WRF MODELS BASED ON  
LATEST TRENDS.  
 
THEREFORE...OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...I HAVE PLACED THE PRIMARY  
AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN...WHICH SHOULD OCCUR FROM 00Z-12Z THURSDAY...  
SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM LUFKIN TEXAS TO EL DORADO ARKANSAS. A  
DISTINCT PLUME OF HIGH PWAT VALUES...WELL OVER 2 INCHES...WILL  
REMAIN OVER THE AREA. THUS...AN ADDITIONAL 6 TO 9 INCHES OF RAIN  
CAN BE EXPECTED IN THIS AREA...WITH SOME ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF UP TO  
10 INCHES POSSIBLE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN SOME LOCATIONS RECEIVING  
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS NEAR OR OVER 2 FEET.
THIS WILL ADD TO  
AN ALREADY HISTORIC FLASH FLOODING EVENT. WE WILL LIKELY BE  
DEALING WITH RIVER AND LAKE FLOODING FOR SOME TIME AFTER THIS.  
THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY  
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE RAIN WILL NOT BE OVER.

18z gfs and high res NAM do indeed push the train back into shrevport in the next few hours..radar trends also support this

 

yikes

 

edit: only saving grace is a possible mesolow/MCS  developing over HOU with the band of thunderstorms their being pushed NE rather than North by outflow

Monroe LA airport on the east side of the city has record measurable precip 27 straight hours with many more hours to go,,

 

total 13.22 inches with even heavier amounts NW of the city

 

appears SHV may be spared as outflows have stalled the train to the south..

 

but not monroe

 

some areas that got hit last night, a little south perhaps but some areas will overlap
