Friday is a day of transition from our dry, cool weather to wet, warm weather. We’re also becoming more confident in the schedule and risks for any potential severe weather.

A Level 2 covers western and central Mississippi with an eastern boundary roughly from Eupora to Metro Jackson to Brookhaven Saturday evening and Saturday night. The main risks are severe storms, hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.

A Level 1 includes most of the rest of the state and includes the same risks at a lesser confidence level.

We’ll have a couple more days of rainy weather as the cold front makes it through. We’ll also get cooler again next week.
