University of Southern Mississippi officials are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Cindy, which currently is expected to make landfall either late Wednesday or early Thursday in southwest Louisiana and east Texas.

Because of saturated conditions due to recent rains, students, faculty and staff at all University campuses and locations are asked to be aware of the potential for flash flooding. These conditions may make some roads impassable or hazardous to navigate. Area residents are asked to monitor weather reports and take action if flash flood warnings are issued.
