A tropical like atmosphere was observed across all of the Four State Region and this moisture was being fed into a trough of low pressure centered across North Central Texas. Lift in association with the upper level trough and a stalled frontal boundary near the Interstate 20 Corridor of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana resulted in
widespread heavy rainfall across portions of the region. One particular storm moved into the Shreveport and Bossier City area during the afternoon hours of Sept. 22nd and produced rainfall rates in excess of 3 inches per hour over Shreveport. This produced high water and road closures across numerous thoroughfares in both cities. A water rescue was even reported in Shreveport. The rainfall set a rainfall record for the day as well, where 3.83 inches was recorded at the Shreveport Regional Airport, surpassing the previous record of 2.47 inches set in 1965. Additional flooding occurred during the early evening hours across Shreveport as additional storms moved from south to north into the city.
