The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued an elevated risk for flash flooding across parts of Mississippi this weekend. The primary threat is expected on Sunday and Monday.
Authorities advise residents to stay weather-aware and know where to go in case of evacuation. They recommend identifying alternate routes in case roads become flooded.
Officials emphasize the importance of the safety message, “Turn around, don’t drown.” The Mississippi Department of Transportation will continue to provide updates on road conditions throughout the weekend.
