Flash Flood — Pike, MS

Mar 8, 2024

Flood Cause
Heavy Rain

A stalled frontal boundary draped across the local area began to surge northward as cyclogenesis began along the southwest LA coastline. Ample moisture being lifted by this warm front resulted in numerous shower and thunderstorm development. A couple storms we're able to produce severe hail early in the event as storms were discrete. Later those storms congealed into a line which caused flash flooding.
