(Lake Charles, LA) Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana, were right on the money when they said the I-10 corridor of the state, which includes cities such as Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, would be under the gun for flooding rains, gusty winds, and small hail during the day on Tuesday.

Unfortunately for portions of waterlogged Louisiana, the news does not get much better as we move into Wednesday morning. In fact, the threat of heavy downpours and flooding rains will be prevalent throughout the region until at least Thursday afternoon.

The website Raindrop. farm allows you to pinpoint a particular location for an estimated rainfall total over the previous day. It's kind of like a virtual rain gauge. Some of the totals that we observed via that site include 4.4 inches of rain for Lafayette's 70506 zip code. A little over 4.3 inches of rain at sites in River Ranch, just over three inches of rain in St. Martinville, and almost six inches of rain in the Arnaudville and Sunset area.

It does appear as though the heavier rainfall totals have been more prevalent in locales that are to the north of I-10 and to the west of I-49. We saw a reading of 6.1 inches in Church Point, 6.37 inches in Iota, and 5.49 inches in Crowley. Again, those readings come from Raindrop.farm.

The most recent Flash Flood Warning for Evangeline, St Landry, Acadia, Allen, and Jefferson Davis Parishes suggested that flooding rain fall totals of three to six inches had already fallen across the warned area. The new Flood Warning suggested that another one inch of rain could fall across the region over the next few hours.

The above image is a screenshot of the National Weather Service Radar network that covers southern Louisiana. As you can see, there is still a lot of heavy rain in the area, and it doesn't appear to be moving out of the area anytime soon.

If there is a "silver lining" in all of these clouds, it would be that the severe weather threat has decreased across the area. The Storm Prediction Center has only the southern half of the state at a marginal risk for severe storms today. Yesterday, the entire state was at risk, and that risk was deemed to be much higher than it is today.

The Weather Prediction Center has also modified its outlook for the I-10 corridor of Louisiana, and that forecast does show improvement as well, but it does not put the area in the "all clear" by any means.

That graphic, above, from the WPC shows the area of the state most likely to be inundated with a torrential downpour to be extreme southeastern Louisiana, which includes the New Orleans area. Let's hope they have the pumps in the Big Easy working because they might need them.

The Official National Weather Service Forecast for Lake Charles, Lafayette, and all of Southwestern Louisiana includes a significant threat of more rain today. Forecasters are suggesting that additional rainfall amounts will be in the one to two-inch range, with higher local amounts possible.

A significant rain threat will remain in the area on Wednesday and during the day on Thursday, too. By Thursday night, rain chances will decrease but not disappear across the region. As of now, it does appear as though there will be a threat of showers all the way through the Mother's Day Weekend.
