Flash Flooding Expected in Central and Southern Mississippi

The National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi, has issued a warning of flash flooding in parts of the state, particularly in central and southern regions.

Residents are advised to stay alert and exercise caution while traveling. Authorities emphasized the importance of obeying the rule, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown,” as even small amounts of moving water can sweep away vehicles.

Officials stressed that safety should be the top priority, and travelers should delay trips if possible. Flooded roadways pose a significant risk, and it is better to wait until conditions improve.

The weather service continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as needed.
