Several rounds of rain between Jan 8-10 were associated with a pair of cold front passages on Jan 09 and 10.  Those rains came with the first Severe Weather Watch in weeks for Louisiana along with a number of Severe Weather Warnings around the state. The severe weather included an EF1 tornado near Coushatta (Red River Parish) … there were reports of flooding across portions of southeastern and northern Louisiana … some areas of northern Louisiana receiving radar-estimated amounts of more than 3.00” while radar-estimates for sections of southeast Louisiana topped 6.00.”
