THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS AND THE ASSOCIATED FRONTS ARE
EXPECTED TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.  A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET COMBINED WITH PLENTY OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL
SPREADING FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EASTWARD INTO THE
SOUTHEAST.  AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS...IS LIKELY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST...WHERE FLOODING AND
FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 1000 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
