A slight risk (15% chance) of seeing severe storms develop on Tuesday exists all but the furthest south portions of the area. The far northern portions of Wilkinson and Amite counties are now included in the 30% likelihood.
It is too early to pin down an exact time for the storms, but they could be as early as Tuesday afternoon. It also too early to determine the largest threat with any severe storms that form, and we will keep you posted as we get closer to the event. We are increasingly confident of high winds, on the order of 25mph gusting to 35-40mph, and it is likely a Wind Advisory will be issued sometime in the weekend.
Now is the time to keep up with us for the latest forecast information, review your severe weather plans, and plan for multiple ways to receive warnings.
