THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY DIMINISH THIS
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND
TENNESSEE VALLEYS. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE MIDWEST
CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AND ACCELERATE TOWARD THE EAST...THE RAIN IS
FORECAST TO MOVE QUICKLY AWAY FROM THE IMPACTED AREAS.
HOWEVER...RIVER FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR SOME TIME
AFTER THE RAIN ENDS LATER TONIGHT WHERE ANTECEDENT HEAVY RAINS HAD
ALREADY RESULTED IN SATURATED SOILS AND HIGH RIVER FLOOD STAGES.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST STORM SUMMARY ISSUED BY THE WEATHER
PREDICTION CENTER FOR THIS EVENT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
