SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN TODAY ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF MISSISSIPPI...MAINLY EAST OF A GRENADA TO VICKSBURG TO NATCHEZ LINE.

HEAVY RAIN AND PONDING CAN BE EXPECTED FOR LOCATIONS FARTHER EAST. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE...CAUSING WATER TO ACCUMULATE ON ROADWAYS AND IN OTHER LOW LYING AREAS. ...NON PRECIPITATION... WINDS WILL REMAIN QUITE STRONG OVER PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI THROUGH THROUGH TODAY AS THE REMNANTS OF RITA SPIN DOWN AND MOVE EAST OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
