Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by National Weather Service Shreveport forecast center 631 am Tuesday June 4
A line of thunderstorms is greeting the day across I-30 at sunrise. Brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds will continue to spread down our I-49 corridor this morning toward Shreveport. Once heating builds, we can expect the line of thunderstorms to build strength once again
with more heavy downpours, along with the potential for damaging winds in the bowing segments. This activity will push toward Natchitoches early this afternoon and finally out of our Louisiana Parishes late this afternoon with a brief reprieve, before another nocturnal thunderstorm complex arrives early on Wednesday morning.
Scattered thunderstorms will likely be ongoing around daybreak once again, The Flood Watch continues for all of the Four-State area through Wednesday afternoon. Then late week, we can expect another weak cold front to arrive early on Friday with more brief thunderstorm
activity affecting our area. Then the weekend still looks to see the weak cool front become stationary west of I-49, effectively acting as a focus of development for more areas of rainfall. We can expect our rivers and bayous to see additional rises with minor river
flooding that may continue into next week.

HABs Tracker
from National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science satellite monitoring program for southeast Louisiana
The latest satellite image of southeast water bodies is mostly clear, captured June 3 at surface wind speed 6.4 mph. This image is mostly clear. Updates in progress, more to follow. For the most recent HAB report, see here.
WT USA Flows and Flood Tracker provisional data from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
Fifty-five streamflow gauges indicate flow above flood stage in the USA Tuesday afternoon, up from fifty- two this morning. Louisiana is under a flash flood warning this afternoon with six monitoring stations reporting active flooding.
As northwest Louisiana remains under Flood Watch until tomorrow evening, rounds of thunderstorms and locally heavy rains have inundated the northwest giving rise to the flash flood warning issued 1130 am today. As of this update, Bayou Bodcau Lake has overrun the basin near Shreveport again, flood stage breached around noon on a rapid rising flow trend. The same five stations reported flooding this morning and three non-rated sites indicating extreme high flows are unchanged at this time. Bayou Dorcheat continues flooding near Springhill in watershed Region 1. Watershed Region 4 Sabine River is flooding near Logansport and Ruliff, TX. Calcasieu River is flooding near Glenmora and downstream near Oberlin. See black tags indicating flood flow volume and gauge height, blue tags for 99th percentile flows updated daily on the map to the right.
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.
