Storms possible Tuesday, Dec 20, 2011

For the storms expected Tuesday, expect to see a broken line of storms move through the Delta area in the 

afternoon and early evening hours.  While there's no expectation of a widespread severe weather outbreak,

individual storms along the line, as well as discreet storms that form independently could bring significant winds

and the possibility of tornadoes to affected areas.  Remain alert and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and

local media outlets through the day for updated weather information. 

It appears that the eastern half of Mississippi could see a better chance of organized severe weather later

Tuesday into Wednesday morning.
