Mid-South Meteorology: UPDATED: Risk of Severe Storms Saturday!

We'll have a risk of severe storms Saturday, especially Saturday afternoon as a warm front , followed by low pressure and a cold front move through the region. I expect at some point, we'll be placed under a severe weather watch of some type, followed by a pretty good chance we'll see some storms which will likely reach severe levels. That being said it remains to be seen how bad and how widespread they are.

The main threats will be large hail, along with damaging winds and possible tornadoes, so stay abreast of changing conditions and forecasts through the day, especially the afternoon!

There are 5 levels of risks: Marginal, Slight, Enhanced, Moderate and High Risk. Here's what they mean:

Your can hear my forecasts each weekday on Newstalk 94.7, 95.5, 570AM and 1320AM, along with The Mix 94.7 and Willie 102.1. Remember, when the power's out, you can still hear our forecasts and live reports on these stations, too.
