* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A weak surface front will remain stationary across East Texas and
North Louisiana through Tuesday. Periods of showers and
thunderstorms, some containing heavy rainfall, will develop
tonight through Tuesday across the watch area. These showers and
thunderstorms will be efficient rainfall producers, with rainfall
amounts of 1 to 3 inches expected, with isolated higher amounts
in excess of 5 inches possible, much of which may fall in a short
period of time. Thus, the potential for at least localized flash
flooding will exist across portions of East Texas and North
Louisiana through Tuesday afternoon.

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
