Lake Charles, which had been hit by Hurricanes Laura and Delta, has had some of the worst of recent storms that have dumped more than a foot of rain in Louisiana.
A flash flood watch remains in effect for Lafayette until at least 7 p.m. Thursday.
“It s not going to take a whole lot today for - in certain parts of the area - for us to see flash flooding to begin again,” Jones said. “We haven t had any reports of any flash flooding yet, but there is more rain on the way and the flash flood threat is going to exist for the entire area as we go through the day today.”
In addition to the excessive rainfall, some areas could see the risk for the severe weather on Tuesday. Lake Charles has a marginal risk for severe weather, including tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail.
