We may be only 12 days into the year, but there has been no shortage of bad weather so far. Today is yet again another chance for some strong storms and isolated tornadoes, but our forecast doesn’t include the serious wording of other recent systems.

North Mississippi got the bulk of its rain last night, but other storms will develop farther south in the state. There may be a few individual storms that strengthen to severe levels, but the main threat will be a line that forms. Some parts of the state will clear our early and end up with a beautiful day.
