Though most of the severe weather is forecast to have moved beyond Baton Rouge by midmorning, a flash flood watch remains in effect until 7 p.m. for East Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes as severe thunderstorms that produced several tornadoes in Texas on Tuesday continue to push across Louisiana today. The large and slow-moving storm system could dump as much as two to three inches of rain in a very short period of time, the National Weather Service says, which could lead to localized flash flooding. The forecast shows a 70% chance of rain throughout the afternoon, and a 50% chance of continued showers and storms tonight. The rain is forecast to move out of Louisiana by Thursday and open up a sunny stretch of weather for the Easter weekend. Check out the complete NWS forecast here.
