A band of showers and thunderstorms, some of which contained locally heavy rainfall, developed during the morning of February 10th across portions of East Texas, extreme Northwest and Northern Louisiana, along and just ahead of a slow moving cold front that extended from East Texas into extreme Northwest Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. Ample gulf and Pacific moisture and embedded upper level disturbances ahead of a strong upper low pressure system just off the Northwest Baja California coast, streamed overhead across much of Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley atop the front, where showers and thunderstorms continued to develop and move repeatedly over the same areas. Given the already saturated grounds due to the widespread 8-12 inches of rain that had fallen since the first of January, instances of flash flooding was observed across portions of Northwest and Northcentral Louisiana, where widespread rainfall amounts of two to five inches fell over already saturated grounds.
