Rain amounts. 

Springhill

August 27 rain 1.31 inches 

Minden
August 25 rain was .14 100s of an inch 

August 27 rain was 1.34

Shongaloo
August 25 rain was .90 100s of an inch. 

The rain we have had is not enough to help with our moderate drought, moderate fire danger, or canceling the Webster Parish burn ban. 

All rainfall totals are for the previous 24 hours ending at 7:a.m.

I am watching a new system in the gulf. Right now it’s centered 100 miles from Mobile, Ala. 
I will be keeping an eye on this system.
