Mississippi and Louisiana officials say flooding on the Pearl River may come a day later than expected.
Hancock County Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Adam in Mississippi says flooding on the river that forms the southern end of the state line may not come until late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Adam says the National Weather Service office in Slidell, Louisiana, has pushed back the time of the river's crest.
He says the weather service told him to prepare for 5 to 7 feet of water. He said this could mean some 100 to 200 homes in Pearlington will take on water.
Forecaster Phil Grigsby says the east side of Slidell, Louisiana, is also threatened at the same time.
Water covered several roads Monday in the town of Pearl River.

The water has started to recede from the flooded subdivisions in Bossier City in northern Louisiana.
National Weather Service forecaster C.S. Ross in Shreveport says it will take at least a week before home owners will be able to get back to their homes and assess the damage.
In the eastern part of Bossier Parish near Haughton, Ross says the water should drain from the Tall Timbers subdivision by Monday afternoon.
A six-mile section of U.S. Highway 71 from Bossier Parish into Red River Parish is flooded.
Ross says Red Chute Bayou on the east side of Bossier City did not top the levee as feared. He says there was some seepage, but not enough to reach 3,500 homes.
