Lower Mississippi Valley – A significant storm system is forecast to bring 2 to 4 inches of rain to the Lower Mississippi Valley on Sunday, with the risk of flash flooding in vulnerable areas.
According to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center, thunderstorms could develop during the afternoon and evening hours. These storms may result in localized training—when multiple rain bands pass over the same area—leading to saturated soil and rapid flooding. Residents in the region, especially in areas prone to flooding, are advised to stay weather-aware.
The NOAA has placed parts of the region under a “Slight Risk” for excessive rainfall, emphasizing the need for preparedness. Authorities recommend avoiding flooded roads and staying informed via weather alerts.
With the holiday season underway, many may be traveling. Experts urge caution, highlighting that even shallow floodwaters can pose significant dangers. If you encounter a flooded road, remember the motto: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”
Stay tuned to local forecasts for updates as the situation develops.
