As of 7:00pm this evening heavy rains have been pounding Southeast Texas and Southwestern Louisiana with 5-7 inches of rain. Unfortunately these areas may see an addition 4-6 inches tonight with some isolated areas likely receiving up to double that. Flood warnings have been posted for most of Acadiana…here’s the current crawl that we are running on air “  FLOOD WARNINGS are in effect for most of Acadiana with the exception of Iberia and St Mary Parishes where FLOOD WATCHES are in effect…Additional rainfall totals tonight will be 4-6 inches with higher amounts in isolated areas especially north and west of  Lafayette…Street flooding will be likely area wide with high water approaching some homes and businesses…In addition, there will be an increasing severe weather threat later tonight through early tomorrow morningâ€â€¦A strong upper level low rolling out of the Rockies will likely throw more gasoline on the fire with the dynamics increasing to the point where damaging winds will be a possibility. With all the rain that will have fallen before the last squall gets here, it won’t take much wind to knock down some trees. The storm should end around daybreak tomorrow…I’ll be here in the Weather Lab all night so stay tuned for the latest, and then for more continued coverage with Dave on Good Morning Acadiana. Be careful out there!
