Storms Monday night through Wednesday 4/25-27/2011

Two rounds of severe weather are expected for early next week, beginning Monday night and lasting through Wednesday.

Areas northwest of the Natchez Trace, especially the ARKLAMISS Delta Areas will be impacted by the first round Monday night and early Tuesday.  Heavy rain, damaging straight line winds and large hail, along with a tornado are always possible with spring storms.

The second round of storms will start late Tuesday night and into Wednesday, and will affect the area again, with more significant weather expected.  This second round will have a higher risk of tornadoes as well.

The current Hazardous Weather Outlook is posted below, as well as an animated graphic.  We'll update this information as more complete data is published.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your interest, support, and positive feedback for this website.  I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend with friends and family.
