An upper low parked over the Mid-South resulted in widespread showers and thunderstorms across North Mississippi during the early morning hours of June 8, 2021. Some locations received up to 4 inches of rain before sunrise which set the stage for flash flooding later that morning into the afternoon as a mesoscale convective vortex pushed into the Mid-South. This feature resulted in several areas of showers and thunderstorms moving across North Mississippi during the day with numerous reports of flash flooding and 24-hour rainfall totals of more than 6 inches. During the afternoon enough surface-based instability developed to support a few severe storms with damaging winds and a weak tornado.
