Shreveport, LA – A new storm system moving into the region next week brings an increased risk of flash flooding, with the potential for 2-6 inches of heavy rainfall in affected areas. The threat, expected to peak Tuesday through Wednesday night, could worsen ongoing concerns about high water levels on local waterways.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm is likely to affect much of Louisiana and parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, particularly the Four State Area. With moderate to high risk of flash flooding in some zones, residents are advised to stay aware of rapidly changing conditions.
The heavy rains are expected to significantly impact travel, especially on highways and local roads prone to water accumulation. Emergency management officials urge drivers to avoid flooded routes and monitor local road conditions before heading out. With the latest storm compounding already elevated water levels, flash flood watches could be issued later in the week as the situation develops.
The threat is expected to subside by Wednesday night, but those in flood-prone areas should remain prepared for the possibility of further alerts or changes in the forecast.
