Flood Threat Diminishes Across Southeast

http://www.weather.com/storms/severe/news/flood-threat-texas-louisiana-mississippi-valley-november-2015

Tuesday into early Wednesday morning, localized flooding was reported in Mississippi, Arkansas, southern Missouri, northwest Louisiana and eastern Texas, resulting in several road closures in those areas. Flash flooding moved into parts of Georgia by Wednesday afternoon.

The most numerous flood reports were in southern Missouri Tuesday where more than 5 inches of rain has fallen in some locations. A storm total of 6.85 inches was measured in Pershing, Missouri.

Some patchy flash flooding was reported around the Atlanta metropolitan area on Wednesday.

The widespread area of heavy rain is from the same area of low pressure aloft that has brought severe weather to the Plains and South, and a blizzard to the High Plains. Ahead of this low, a plume of deep, tropical moisture is being tapped not just from the Gulf of Mexico, but also from the western Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean south of southern Mexico's Coast.
