NWS: Severe weather, damaging hail
May 24, 2024 1040 am CDT
Hazardous Weather outlook issued 631 am Friday May 24
This Hazardous Weather Outlook applies to north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana:
Severe weather will be possible once again today through tonight across most of the Four State Region. Large hail and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts will again be the main threats. While
widespread flooding is not likely through tonight, flooding of low lying and flood prone areas will be possible with heavy downpours through tonight.
Severe weather will be possible once again late Saturday into Saturday Night across mainly portions of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas. Large hail and damaging thunderstorm
wind gusts will again be the main threats on Saturday. A strong cold front will move through the region on Memorial Day and Monday Night bringing with it another chance of thunderstorms. Before the cold front arrives late on Monday, we will see some of the hottest temperatures of the late Spring Season with afternoon high temperatures both Saturday and Sunday in the lower to middle 90s. Combine this with high afternoon humidity and heat indices could approach 105 degrees across some locations.

WT USA Flows and Flood Tracker provisional data from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
As of this report, forty-one sites record flooding on the USGS network through the USA, down from sixty sites Thursday. Ten of these active flood events are recorded in the WT coverage area. The nation's most common disaster is recorded at five sites in Georgia, and five in Louisiana.
Louisiana is down to five sites in the USGS monitor network recording active flooding overnight. Calcasieu River is no longer flooding near Kinder, the flooding does continue on in the upper channel currently recorded a foot over the channel near Glenmora. Pearl River is no longer flooding near Bogalusa. In Region 1 watershed, Bayou Bodcau continues to run a foot and three inches over the channel. Region 4 Sabine River flooding continues in the lower end of the channel near Ruliff, TX. Region 5 watershed Mermentau River continues to overflow the channel at Mermentau, three inches over as of this report. In Region 7, Pearl River flooding continues at the Town of Pearl River. See black tags indicating flow volume and gauge height, flows updated daily on the map to the right.
Georgia: Gulf of Mexico basin's Ochlockonee River is back in the channel Friday, the overflow near Concord got under control around 730 this morning. Withlachoochee River flooding wrapped up around 8 am this morning at Skipper Rd near Bemiss. The Withlacoochee River overflow continues at US84 near Quitman and downstream near Pinetta, FL. In the Atlantic Ocean basin, Satilla River is still flooding GA 158 near Waycross, also recorded a foot over the basin at Atkinson. Little Satilla River runs a foot over the channel near Offerman. Savannah River flooding ended yesterday near Cylo. See black tags indicating flow volume and gauge height, updated daily here.
As many drinking water facilities are supplied from surface water reservoirs, the streamflow situation is pertinent to both drinking water supply and quality. High flows can stir up sediment and cause turbidity in the reservoirs, requiring additional treatments to render the water potable. Low flow volume is linked to warmer temperatures in the reservoir and can be an issue for water quality where HABs are present. WT tracks streamflow trends with an eye to the impacts on drinking water supply and quality in each of the state's watersheds. Check the watershed layer on the map to see the direction of flow and streamflows that may be impacting drinking water today.
USGS Provisional Data Statement
Data are provisional and subject to revision until they have been thoroughly reviewed and received final approval. Current condition data relayed by satellite or other telemetry are automatically screened to not display improbable values until they can be verified.
Provisional data may be inaccurate due to instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review based on field inspections and measurements may result in significant revisions to the data.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Information concerning the accuracy and appropriate uses of these data or concerning other hydrologic data may be obtained from the USGS.
