Severe storms are a risk for most of the state from now until Wednesday and even a tornado is possible until Tuesday night.

A Level 2 risk covers the state from northern Mississippi all the way south to the U. S. Highway 84 corridor through Tuesday night. In this area, severe storms, tornadoes, damaging winds, torrential rainfall, and large hail are all possible. Two rounds of storms are possible with the first being early Tuesday morning and another from the afternoon into the evening.

A Level 1 covers from U. S. Highway 84 south towards the Gulf Coast. Risks in this area include isolated severe storms, damaging winds, and hail.

The same risk continues all day Wednesday until Wednesday night, but the Level 2 is a smaller area that forms a half circle from the Pine Belt to the Golden Triangle and then over to the Jackson Metro. A Level 1 risk expands north, west, and south of that zone.
