NWS issues flash flood watch for 2M people across central Mississippi to central Alabama, including Jackson and Birmingham, with rain coming to the already storm-hit areas.

On Tuesday morning, more than 130 river gauges from the Ohio River down to the Gulf Coast remained in flood stage, and more rain is on the way for these flood-ravaged areas.

Rain could wreak havoc on areas that are already dealing with elevated water levels. The Pearl River in Jackson, Mississippi, crested Monday at 36.67 feet, the third-highest in 100 years and the highest recorded level since 1983. Jackson has become the center for some of the worst flooding due to the city's record-setting wet start to the year. With 19.90 inches of rain since Jan. 1, Jackson is having its wettest year-to-date on record.

Across the northern tier, a quick shot of rain and snow will hit parts of the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and New England. On Tuesday, light-to-moderate snowfall will streak across the interior Northeast and New England but will be over by the evening. The quick-moving nature of the storm will keep the snow totals down, with 2 to 4 inches possible with some isolated locations that could see 6-8 inches. For the I-95 corridor from Washington to Boston, the Tuesday morning commute will be dry but the evening commute will likely be wet. This could lead to some minor travel delays.

Did Trump tell them they should sweep the streets? It will prevent them from flooding when there are heavy rains.

'Parasite' director Bong greeted by applause in South KoreaINCHEON, South Korea (AP) — Director Bong Joon-ho smiled and waved at a waiting crowd on Sunday as he arrived home in South Korea, his first trip back since he won four Oscars for his movie... He deserves his success. Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다! unfortunately, asians are more worried about a different kind of parasite...
