Pulse-type showers and thunderstorms continued during the afternoon hours with torrential rainfall rates. Due to a lack of shear, slow moving/nearly stationary storm motion heightened flash flooding threats, particularly over urban areas. A storm developed over Tupelo, MS and dumped buckets of rain over the area resulting in widespread flash flooding. The airport recorded 3.43 inches and set a daily rainfall record.
