The Storm Prediction center (SPC) has now posted a rare HIGH RISK of severe weather from Central Louisiana into parts of West Central Mississippi. This includes the possibility of some strong long-lived tornadoes.
Around the "High Risk" area is a "Moderate Risk" that extends eastward to cover most of the rest of Mississippi including the Columbus, Starkville and Meridian areas. A "Slight Risk" extends east to about the Alabama-Georgia border.
The best chance of a significant outbreak, including some strong long-track tornadoes is from Central Louisiana into West Central Mississippi mainly this afternoon. Overnight, the main threat in Alabama could be damaging winds. But we will watch that.
The SPC has also issued a Tornado Watch that extends from Extreme SE Texas northeastward across Central and NE Louisiana into West Central Mississippi until 7 o'clock this evening. This is one of those fairly rare "PDS" watches--meaning a "Particularly Dangerous Situation."
Mississippi has really been under the gun lately.
