The cold front has moved south of the Mid-South, ending the threat of severe thunderstorms, according to radar updates. Lingering showers are expected to continue across the region, with elevated thunderstorms over northeastern Mississippi expected to persist for the next few hours.

Forecasters warn residents to remain cautious as flash flooding remains the primary concern through early evening. Authorities urge drivers to avoid flooded roads and never attempt to drive through water-covered streets.

The weather system has generally moved out of the area, but residents should stay alert for additional showers and possible flooding until conditions stabilize.
