Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS monitoring sites in Louisiana
A mix of normal to much above normal water levels remain statewide after the weekend, very similar to the scene observed here Friday. Flooding remains in Region 1 Webster Parish, and Region 4 Calcasieu Parish.
Region 1, Bayou Dorcheat continues to flood near Springhill, a foot and a half above flood stage. In Calcasieu Parish, Sabine River is maintaining the flow at around seven inches over flood stage on the Texas-LA border. See black tags on the front page map for details. Calcasieu River runs a foot and three inches over near Glenmora.
Mostly cloudy, 37 degrees in New Orleans, the expected high 43. Fair and freezing at Shreveport, 29 degrees, the high 41 under clear, sunny skies.
