The agency said areas along and south of Interstate 40 could also receive an additional 1.5 to 2 inches of rain today, creating a potential flash-flood threat.
The National Weather Service in Memphis posted the guidance on its social channels, noting the frontās slow progression as the reason for the heightened threat, the agency said.
