...Flash Flooding Possible this Afternoon in the Lower Mississippi River Valley...

Widespread moderate to heavy rain is possible this afternoon across the Lower Mississippi River Valley as a cold front tracks across the region. The combination of abundant moisture and slow-moving precipitation will lead to rainfall amounts ranging from 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. The heavy rainfall over already saturated soils may contribute to flash flooding. Remember: Turn Around Don't Drown.
