General Overnight Outlook for 4/20-21/2011

  • A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for the area until 2:00 AM 4/21/2011
  • A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the area until 6:00 AM 4/21/2011

Convection continues across north and central portions of Mississippi, and additional development is expected across western portions of the area overnight.  The primary risks associated with overnight development are large (up to golfball) hail, damaging winds up to 60mph, and tornadoes cannot be ruled out.  Flash flooding is also a concern as storms train over the same areas with hourly rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches possible.  Localized rainfall amounts of 5 to 6 inches have been radar estimated tonight, and an additional 2 to 4 inches is possible.

Severity of storms will decrease through the morning hours Thursday as overall intensity wanes.  However, training of thunderstorms will compound the risk of flooding through Thursday morning.
