After a cold front stalled across the ArkLaMiss region the day before, the remnant stationary front served as a focus for the development of widespread showers and thunderstorms on May 11th. Following several previous rounds of heavy rainfall across the region, heavy rain associated with these showers and storms produced flooding and flash flooding across mainly eastern and southeastern Mississippi. Scattered flooding occurred elsewhere across the state as well. Some of the thunderstorms were strong to severe, and  several trees were toppled between the combination of strong winds and wet soils.
