We have been talking
about this for the past few days, and now that we are right on the doorstep of
this rain event, it looks like it is going to happen.
The forecast for the
National Weather Service's, Hydrometeorological Prediction Center is
forecasting rainfall totals over the next 4-5 days to be in the 4"-6"
range for all of East Texas.
The heavy rainfall is likely to start during the
day tomorrow and come in waves, through Sunday. This will certainly be a
blessing for our East Texas area lakes...but Flooding issues will likely occur
as well along many of our creeks, streams and rivers.
For those of you living
along these areas, please be advised that with this heavy rainfall, you may
need to act quickly as this rainfall event unfolds.
There will also be a
chance for strong to severe storms during the afternoon, evening and overnight
hours on Thursday as the cold front moves into our area. Large hail, very gusty
winds, lightning and flooding rainfall are all possible.
This entire storm system
will likely stick around until Sunday, however, after tomorrow's severe weather
threat, most of the days beyond...will be a very heavy, flooding rainfall
event.
