00:00Alright, the last thing we're tracking is going to be some moisture and some soggy conditions

00:04across the Gulf.

00:05We talked about the moisture moving in across Louisiana.

00:07That's showing signs of dissipating, but in addition to that, there's that cold front

00:10that's making its way across parts of Kansas.

00:12It is starting to kick off some severe thunderstorms there in both the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.

00:17Yeah, areas around Cimarron County, they're facing a strong storm at the western end of

00:21the Sooner State, and we talked about those storms there near the Gulf Coast as well.

00:25So this is a squeeze play, and we're going to have more showers and storms over the next

00:29couple of days here into Texas.

00:31Some risk for flash flooding to the north and also into far east Texas and Louisiana.

00:35Yeah, Louisiana will see some flooding potential, but it looks like the Texas panhandle might

00:38have the most rainfall.

00:39We're going to continue to track that here as we head into tonight.

00:42Alright, stay with us here on the AccuWeather Network.
