During the day Tuesday, counties in the Delta and along the Mississippi River can expect windy conditions, with sustained winds of 20-25 miles per hour and 40 mile per hour gusts. Areas further east will see sustained 20mph winds with gusts up to 30-35mph. A Wind Advisory will likely be issued.
As the graphic below illustrates, storms will affect areas west of Interstate 55 in the 8:00pm - 3:00am time frame. Areas east of I-55 can expect to see storms between 2:00am and 8:00am Wednesday. However, there is a slight chance that counties along the Mississippi River could see storms develop as early as 6:00-8:00pm Tuesday ahead of the main line of storms. If they develop, these discrete storms could produce damaging winds and strong tornadoes.
Rainfall of 1/2" to 1" is generally expected across the area, with higher amounts possible in some locations.
