LOCAL AREA EMERGENCY - WIDESPREAD FLOODING

Too many flood warnings to even try to report on. Some roads are washed out, some impassable, more rain on the way. Almost 5 inches near Madison. Radar shows some areas in Marshall, and Jackson Counties with 5 to 6 and rising. Several more inches are possible this afternoon into this evening before tapering off. Do not try to drive through water covering a road. Stay safe. A look at current flood warnings and watches. The Pink is Flash Flood Warnings, and the green is Watches. The green/blue is area flash flood warnings.
