An enormous storm system will leave a huge blanket of snow, damaging ice and flooding across the southeastern U.S. this weekend.

In Southwest Mississippi, the forecast indicates heavy rain, thunderstorms and locally severe storms which could cause flooding during the day on Saturday.

Accuweather forecasters predict problems in the I-10 and I-20 corridors of the Southeast, as well as in the coastal areas of the Carolinas and the southeastern corner of Virginia, enough rain may fall to cause urban and small stream flooding.

Torrential downpours and gusty winds in thunderstorms may be limited to the I-10 corridor of the Southeast on Sunday. Locally severe thunderstorms may focus over part of the Florida Peninsula from late Sunday to Sunday night as cooler air approaches.

National Weather Service meteorologists predict the chance of rain in Southwest Mississippi will begin to increase Friday afternoon and increase into the night and throughout the day on Saturday.
