   - *Wednesday & Thursday* are projected to be the worst weather days with

   possible tornados, T-storms, hail, lightning, TS winds, and heavy rainfall

   (3+ inches each day) that will cause some flash flooding with the already

   soaked soil. The North and East sides where the outer bands train will have

   the greatest impacts. Louisiana will be impacted. Toledo Bend is planning

   on releasing water from the dam to relieve the backwater flooding that will

   occur due to the heavy rains.
