* WHEN...Through Tuesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Showers and thunderstorms, some of which may cause heavy
    rainfall, will continue this afternoon and tonight across
    East Texas and Western Louisiana along and south of the
    Interstate 20 corridor, before diminishing late. However,
    additional showers and thunderstorms will redevelop over
    these areas Monday afternoon, and may produce heavy rainfall.
