JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – Heavy rain is on the way for our Tuesday afternoon and evening, along with a few strong to severe storms. While the potential for flash flooding is the main reason we have issued a First Alert Weather Day, there is also a chance that some places see a strong to severe storm (especially south of I-20). All modes of severe weather will be possible.
Timing-wise, the most widespread and heavy rain will be from about 6 PM to midnight. Rainfall totals will likely amount to between 2-4 inches, with isolated areas seeing even more than that. We will see much lower rain coverage for Wednesday, but some showers are still possible. The remainder of the week has decent rain chances every afternoon and evening…
