...Periods of Heavy Rain Likely This Week Across the Mid South...

A large storm system over the Southwest U.S. will pivot slowly into
the Lower Mississippi Valley through Thursday. Deep moisture and
lift will persist over the Mid-South ahead of this system resulting
in several rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall.

Moderate to heavy rainfall will begin to impact the Mid South
Monday night and continue through Thursday. As multiple waves of
rain cross the region through the week, rainfall totals of 4 to 7
inches with locally higher amounts are possible.

Heavy rainfall this week will saturate soils and likely result in
localized flooding of low lying and poor drainage locations. If
rainfall becomes especially heavy or pockets of heavy rain move
across the same areas repeatedly, flash flooding could occur. As
rainfall totals increase through the week, the risk for river
flooding will increase as well.

Areas impacted by heavy rainfall could vary through the week, and
the exact timing and amounts are not certain. However, with the
expectation of several inches of rainfall, there will be a risk for
flooding area wide. Please monitor updated forecasts and be alert
for any flood watches or warnings that may be issued, especially if
you live in an area susceptible to flooding.
