Minor Flood Stage is from 4-7 feet
The river is projected to crest at about 4.4 feet by 24 December then begin falling
POTENTIAL IMPACT: At 4-5 feet, water may move up the bank and across access roads below the city dock. Floodwall gates should be closed by the 5 foot stage to protect against higher stages. Vessel traffic will be affected by stronger river current and vessel safety rules will be strictly enforced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop today ahead of a cold front across north central Texas, southeast Oklahoma, and western Arkansas. These showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous as they spread into northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas this afternoon and possibly northwest Louisiana tonight. While an isolated strong storm cannot be ruled out, organized severe weather is not expected with these thunderstorms given the limited instability in place. However, brief heavy rainfall may accompany some of the stronger storms, with rainfall amounts of one to two inches possible mainly north of a Jacksonville and Carthage Texas, to Shreveport and Minden Louisiana, to El Dorado Arkansas line.
Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will persist Thursday across northeast Texas, southeast Oklahoma, southwest Arkansas, and extreme northwest Louisiana, although a weakening trend is expected by afternoon. However, additional scattered to numerous showers will redevelop Thursday night as warm air overruns the cold front to the south of the area, and is enhanced by an upper level disturbance that will approach the region from the west. These showers will diminish from west to east Friday morning. Additional showers and thunderstorms will spread east across the region Monday, and could linger into Monday night ahead of another upper level storm system that will eject northeast across the southern plains.
