Catastrophic Flash Flood Crisis Impacts 8 States — Tennessee Valley in Danger

A critical flash flood crisis is affecting eight states within the Mid-Mississippi Valley, Ozark area, and Tennessee Valley as of June 8, with the National Weather Service declaring a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall until Monday morning. Northern Alabama faced a Moderate Risk, which was downgraded late Sunday night following severe flooding earlier that day. Meteorologists caution that ongoing convective storms moving eastward may cause dangerous flooding in areas near river basins. Residents in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi are advised to steer clear of flood-affected zones and low-lying roads without delay.
