THROUGH THURSDAY. A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS IN
EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING FOR EASTERN TEXAS INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI. THE RAIN WILL END FOR
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON THURSDAY AS A PUSH

TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS AND MUCH OF THE STATE OF
MISSISSIPPI ON THURSDAY. AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN IS
