Bad floods in Vermont this past Sunday into Monday. And now a flash flood emergency in southeast Arkansas.

Moderate 3/4 Risk for Excessive Rainfall for Southeast Arkansas/NE Lousiana and Central Mississippi

From the MPD #710:

"Recent HRRRs seem to vastly underplay this potent heavy rain
scenario and solutions of 5"+ over large areas of central MS like
the 12Z ARWs/FV3LAM may be in play tonight. This risk of heavy
rain should be heavily monitored as considerable flash flooding is
possible."

Most recent 3KM NAM rainfall totals.

I was just noticing that. It's awfully close to me too.

Look who Mother Nature chose to flood.

Louisville, MS has serious flood issues.

Once I get caught up with things, I'll post some images around Ackerman

 

[Taylor Campbell]

This isn’t flash flood emergency worthy?

 

[JPWX]

They did issue a Flash Flood Emergency for Louisville earlier

 

[JBishopwx]

Over 12 inches in Louisville, 8 in Ackerman. 4.6+ here just west of Ackerman.

Over 12 inches in Louisville, 8 in Ackerman. 4.6+ here just west of Ackerman.

That's crazy.

 

[JBishopwx]

The 3KM NAM floods the FL panhandle next. Rainfall totals by lunch tomorrow.
