Many of us have certainly seen some stormy weather the past few days, but Wednesday’s risk is the highest level of threat so far.

A Level 3 cuts right through the middle of the state and includes Yazoo City, Jackson, Philadelphia, and Meridian. Laurel, Port Gibson and Magee sit right on the edge between a 3 and 2. In the Level 3, severe storms are likely with winds up to 70 miles per hour, torrential rain, hail, and tornadoes all possible.

A Level 2 circles the Level 3 and includes Columbus, Greenwood, Greenville, Eupora, Cleveland, Port Gibson, Brookhaven, and Hattiesburg. Natchez sits right on the border of the Level 2 and Level 1. In the Level 2, severe storms are possible with damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain.

The Level 1 includes southern and northern Mississippi. Severe storms are possible with the same risk, just not as widespread.
