It appears that today will be "the day" the Midsouth and the Seark (SE AR) receives the heaviest of the rainfall (at least we hope so) associated with this persistent, cut-off low that is currently centered in Northern Louisiana . Over the last few hours, Monroe has received over 5 inches of rain and it is still coming down. In the Midsouth, the Memphis areas has been inundated with flooding rains as well. All of that is moving north to northwest, into the Seark and into the Memphis area. Some places may get up to 4 inches of additional rain in the next 36 hours, especially if you happen to be in an location that gets a thunderstorm embedded with a band of precipitation as it moves through. We may end up getting close to a foot of rain by the time it is all over.
This is turning out to be our "tropical system" for this year, folks. Rarely do we not have at least one during the year that effects us.
There is still much uncertainty as to when this system "gets out of here". Some models having it hanging around until next week-basically fizzling out until the upper level trof moves a front through the area.
Keep you boat and your rubber boots handy!
