Saturday will begin a gorgeous weekend across the Magnolia State. Although most of the state will be mostly cloudy in the morning, skies will clear gradually throughout the morning, leaving sunny skies behind. Temperatures will be cooler for most of us.

After another gorgeous day on Sunday, Monday will be a day of transition. As we discussed yesterday, we’re watching a strong cold front moving southward. The Level 2 severe potential now includes most of the state and the timing has changed a few hours later, mainly Monday night into Tuesday. We’re watching models for specifics, but right now, it seems like all modes of severe weather will be possible, including a tornado or two.
