Pearl River Rising in Central Mississippi

Pearl River levels are rising in Central Mississippi after heavy rainfall, prompting officials to monitor closely for potential flooding—especially near Jackson and Byram. Though major flooding isn’t expected, minor flooding remains a risk as more rain arrives. The Ross Barnett Reservoir, already at 298 feet, is being carefully managed with controlled releases of 30,000 cfs to balance inflows and outflows. Officials warn of possible creek backups and localized flooding near riverfront homes, while reminding residents to stay alert—this kind of storm is a regular seasonal occurrence in the region.
