I am sure by now everyone recognises the noise outside as Thunder and the

sound on your car and house is rain.

 

The National Weather Service has just issued an advisory for OKLA, Ark, NW

LA, and NE Tx for the possibility of river and small stream flooding. The

rain for those areas is anticipated to be 8-12 inches.  If you are planning

trips to these areas please stay informed through your weather radio, TV &

Radio stations. previous rain, saturated ground, and lack of drought

conditions will cause vast amounts of runoff into rivers, lakes, small

streams and coverage of low water crossings.

 

We are in a persistent and rare August event that will continue into mid

next week with more rain, and 5-8 degree cooler temperatures.  The flooding

will as always depend on where the locally heavy rainfall occurs. Whether

it has an impact on us here in Deep East Texas will depend on how far South

and West the rain sags.

 

The prime impact area is on the Red River and its watershed areas.
