Flash Flood Watch Statement as of 2:07 PM CDT on August 20, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch in effect until 1 am CDT Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southeast Arkansas...
northeast Louisiana and Mississippi.

* Until 1 am CDT Thursday

* showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and evening
as an upper level disturbance sitting to the west of the region
brings deep moisture into portions of the arklamiss region.
Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches can be expected where heavier
thunderstorms move repeatedly over the same area for southeast
Arkansas... northeast Louisiana and portions of Mississippi this
afternoon into the evening. The soil across this region remains wet
from heavy rainfall earlier this week and rapid run off is likely to
occur.

* Flooding of roadways... areas of poor drainage... culverts and
ditches will be possible through this evening. Minor flooding of
homes and businesses may also occur.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
