Flooding continues in Region 1 Webster Parish, watershed Region 4 Calcasieu Parish
Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS monitoring sites in Louisiana
Streamflows are varied Thursday, water levels rated mostly above the seasonal normal in the west with three active floods and three stations reporting flows above the 90th percentile. Moving east, the water levels are largely seasonal normal, just one station reporting below normal in the network.
Region 1, Bayou Dorcheat is still rising through Webster Parish, up two to three inches in the last 24 hours as measured near Springhill. To the south, Region 4, Sabine River continues to overflow the banks on the Texas-Louisiana border in Calcasieu Parish. Provisional data from USGS shows the water volume has increased from 17,400 cubic feet per second to 21,400 cfs. The gauge height is around seven to eight inches over flood stage near Starks, possibly still on a slow rise, see black tags on the front page map for details. Calcasieu River continues to spill the banks near Glenmora, down slightly overnight, a foot and three inches over flood stage.
Fair, 60 degrees in New Orleans with another sunny day on the way, high 65. Shreveport reports fair conditions, 48 degrees, the high 51.
