Mississippi is forecast to experience a different kind of severe weather this week following a cold snap that killed 11 people last week.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has confirmed that heavy rainfall is expected to begin across the Magnolia State on Monday evening before continuing into the weekend. The combination of the rain plus melting snow and ice is set to result in flood conditions.
At this time, elevated threats of flooding are anticipated to be more prevalent in the northern and central portions of the state on Wednesday and Thursday while temperatures fluctuate in the 60s.
❗FLOOD POTENTIAL: The last thing we want to see is more severe weather coming our way this week.
Rain is on the way for the state, bringing with it an increasing flood potential, Wednesday into Thursday (1/24-1/25).
