Severe weather ravaged the mid south Wednesday and more is in the forecast for Thursday. The mid south is in a level 3/5 risk for severe weather. A few more tornadoes are possible today.
THURSDAY – The same system that brought tornadoes to the mid south Wednesday will bring the threat of tornadoes again Thursday. All severe hazards will be possible, including wind and hail. It will be warm and humid again, helping to destabilize the atmosphere for storms. The severe weather has also turned into a big time rain event, with the mid south picking up multiple inches overnight. A flash flood warning is in effect for Shelby county as of 4:45 Thursday morning.
TIMING OF SEVERE STORMS: LATE AFTERNOON EARLY EVENING
REST OF THE WEEK – Wednesday’s severe threat ushered in a very active weather pattern, with off and on showers/storms persisting through most of the upcoming weekend. Several inches of rain are likely (perhaps more than 10″ in a few spots) and will lead to flash flooding in areas especially north of I-40 later this week.
STAY CONNECTED – We encourage you to have multiple ways to receive weather information – especially as we head into April, which is another busy month for severe weather in the Mid-South. Download the WREG weather app for the latest forecast details while you are out and about this weekend. Make sure your location is turned ON, so you can receive watch and warning information for your exact location. With this potentially being an overnight event, you need a way to be woken up if a warning is issued. Keep your phone volume on loud. A NOAA weather radio is a great investment as well.
