JACKSON, Miss. - Huge storms brewing over 10 states in the Midwest and South on Friday have meteorologists urging people to brace for dangerous weather, including tornadoes, saying conditions are similar to those a week ago that unleashed a tornado that killed 21 people in Mississippi. Roughly 89M people are under weather advisories March 31as the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Storm Prediction Center forecast a large outbreak of thunderstorms with the potential for hail, damaging wind gusts and strong tornadoes that could move for long distances on the ground. The major population centers at greatest risk for storms Friday afternoon include St. Louis; Memphis; and Little Rock, Ark.; and across Iowa. NWS is forecasting another batch of intense storms on April 4, in the same general area as last week's deadly tornadoes. At least the first 10 days of April will be rough, according to Accuweather. The hazardous forecast is a result of strong southerly winds transporting copious amounts of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico northward, it interacts with a strengthening storm system.
