Very heavy rain of up to 10 to 12 inches of rain in 3 to 6 hours across central Mississippi yesterday caused widespread dangerous flash flooding. Heavy rain also caused flash flooding across portions of Alabama as well as Tennessee and Missouri. Rivers across Missouri which rose in response to recent heavy rain are falling, and expected below flood stage by Friday. Rivers across parts of the northern Plains have minor to moderate flooding from snow melt and warmer temperatures.
Major flooding is anticipated along portions of the James River.
Expected rainfall could cause further rises on these rivers.
