Lamar County has a track record of quick flooding in heavy rains and in anticipation of what is upstream heading that way, the NWS has issued a flash flood warning for the county.

There are several flash flood warnings back through eastern Mississippi, including the Columbus, Louisville, Ackerman areas.

Radar estimated rainfalls west of Columbus are now approaching 3 to 4 inches and this will cause flash flooding.

SOUTH ALABAMA NOTE
The NWS Mobile has issued a tornado warning for a developing supercell near Waynesboro…it will pass into Choctaw County in Southwest Alabama…and pass near Grove Hill and Whatley. These areas will have to be especially alert this morning and afternoon as there is some really good instability in place already and it will be growing.
