00:00So overall, as we take a look at the risk of flash flooding for the next few days,
00:05the rain is going to begin to exit the Carolinas eventually.
00:08We're not fully there yet, but we're moving in the right direction,
00:11and other areas will continue to see the storms into the central Gulf Coast.
00:16So we are dealing with, again, a mixed bag here in the forecast,
00:19but the most persistent rain will be into Louisiana, far east Texas, southern Mississippi,
00:25and we're looking at the area around New Orleans tonight.
00:28More storms there and into Houma.
00:30A little break in the action tonight for Lafayette and Baton Rouge,
00:33but more storms to the west as well.
00:35And with that high humidity, you're not going to cool down too much at night.
00:38More storms tomorrow for the southeast.
00:40By Sunday, we do scour the rain away from the Carolinas,
00:43but thunderstorms will persist elsewhere,
00:46so we're looking forward to this wedge of dry air returning to areas east of the Appalachians.
