Something happened in the Storm Prediction Center’s severe weather threat for Wednesday that we haven’t seen in a while: The threat level was reduced from a Level 2 to a Level 1.

There is still a chance for some severe storms and an isolated tornado for the Delta and parts of North Mississippi Wednesday and Wednesday evening, but it doesn’t seem the ingredients are coming together as they have in previous storms. We’ll keep a watch out in case anything changes, but the day may not be as rough as expected.

In the meantime, clouds will still hang around much of the state today. There may be some sunshine in the southern parts. Humidity levels are climbing and temperatures are rising over the next day or two. Some parts of the state will have some rain today. The big story continues to be strong wind gusts. Some gusts could get pretty strong tomorrow!
