The wet weather pattern continued and more rainfall fell across already soaked portions of the forecast area. As the upper level disturbance continued to impact the region, locally heavy rains occurred across portions of Sunflower and Kemper Counties. The result was some flash flooding over these counties. The hardest hit area was around Ruleville, in Sunflower County, where 50 to 60 homes had flooded.
