We’ve been watching the Level 3 risk for severe weather Thursday and Thursday night for several days, but the Storm Prediction Center has now targeted parts of Mississippi for another risk Wednesday.

The good news is Wednesday’s risk is only a Level 1 right now. It follows a Highway 28 line in central Mississippi northward. Right now, the biggest risks are strong winds, strong storms, and torrential rainfall. These storms are expected to be more of an isolated event while Thursday is expected to be much more potent and widespread. We’ll continue to watch both forecasts.

In the meantime, today is going to be sunny and warm for most of us. Enjoy!
