THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...SOUTH CENTRAL
 MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.

* UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT

* AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO COMBINE WITH GULF MOISTURE
  TO BRING WIDESPREAD 2 TO 3 INCH RAINFALL WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS UP

  BROOKHAVEN TO QUITMAN. THIS RAINFALL WILL ACCUMULATE OVER A LONG
  PERIOD OF TIME BUT BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TOTALS IN THE 2 TO 4 INCH
  RANGE ARE LIKELY.

* DUE TO RECENT RAINFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...GROUNDS REMAIN SATURATED
  AND MANY RIVERS ARE RUNNING HIGH. THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD

  TO THE AREA. RESIDENTS IN NORMALLY FLOOD PRONE LOCATIONS SHOULD PAY
  SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY RAINS THURSDAY.
