• Tornadoes and Flash Flooding in Mississippi, March 25 to 28, 20091 death · $814,000 · EF1 · 20 eventsSeveral episodes of widespread severe weather and heavy rainfall occurred from March 26th through the 28th as a series of strong upper air disturbances impacted the central gulf region as a meandering and nearly stationary frontal boundary drifted back and forth across the area.
• Flood and Coastal Flood in Mississippi, October 25 to 26, 20154 eventsLow pressure moved from south Texas to southwest Louisiana during the day and night of the 25th. Very heavy rain also occurred with this system with several locations receiving as much as ten inches of rain over a 48 hour period.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, May 1 to 2, 20102 eventsHigh astronomical tides combined with persistent southeast winds to produce coastal flooding at high tide near Waveland.
• Flash Flood and Coastal Flood in Mississippi, June 30, 20102 eventsThe large scale wind circulation associated with Hurricane Alex caused tides 1 to 2 feet above normal along the Mississippi coastline, resulting in minor flooding in a few locations. Heavy rainfall also produced isolated flooding near the coast.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, October 16 to 17, 20061 eventPersistent strong southeast winds caused high tides across the Mississippi coast.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, April 10, 20081 eventA prolonged period of strong onshore flow resulted in minor flooding of some low lying areas along the coast in sections of Hancock County.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, December 1 to 2, 20091 eventA strong pressure gradient, resulting from low pressure moving across the northwest Gulf of Mexico and high pressure over the eastern United states, produced a period of strong onshore winds which caused minor coastal flooding in sections of Hancock County.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, February 4, 20101 eventPersistant strong easterly winds caused coastal flooding in Hancock County.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, June 15, 20151 eventHigh astronomical tides combined with persistent southeast winds produced minor coastal flooding in Hancock County during high tide.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, April 30, 20171 eventA squall line with embedded severe thunderstorms moved through the area ahead of a cold front. Strong onshore flow ahead of the front also led to coastal flooding.
• Coastal Flood in Mississippi, May 19 to 22, 20211 eventStrong east-southeasterly pressure gradient flow between a strong high pressure over the mid-Atlantic and a weak surface low in the northwestern Gulf led to several days of coastal flooding across southern Mississippi.
