The Storm Prediction Center and National Weather Service offices covering Mississippi have upgraded an upcoming severe weather risk to a Level 3 (out of 5).
The increase comes from a tornado and damaging wind threat.
The greatest risk stretches from Yazoo City to Vicksburg to Natchez, including other Mississippi River region communities; Jackson, Brandon, Madison, and Clinton; Brookhaven, McComb, and Magee; and Columbia, Hattiesburg, and Laurel.
The risk begins about 4 p.m. along the Mississippi River, 7 p.m. for the I-55 corridor, and 10 p.m. for the I-59 corridor.
For areas along and south of I-20, damaging winds up to 70 mph along with some strong tornadoes are possible, according to the NWS.
Levels 1, 2 and 3 risks cover the Gulf Coast.
Expect numerous severe storms, especially for areas across SW Mississippi with isolated tornadoes, some strong, damaging winds and large hail possible.
Although the severe risks end Tuesday, it’ll stay mostly cloudy with some rain and drizzle possible the rest of the week. It looks like our next statewide sunny day will be Saturday.
