Mid-South Meteorology: Chances for Severe Storms and Heavy Rainfall AGAIN!

We're looking at ANOTHER chance of showers and storms tonight through Tuesday, along with the possibility AGAIN of locally heavy rainfall over the 48 hour period.

Moisture is again surging into the area, along with low pressure to our west, which will begin moving closer. The greatest chances for severe storms will lay mostly south of the area tonight, and tomorrow will be mostly from the lakes region eastward.

Greatest risk of severe storms today and tonight are near the Bootheel and NW Tennessee, and southward. Greatest threats: wind, hail.

Greatest risk of severe storms tomorrow run from the lakes region and Pennyrile area, eastward. Main threats: wind, hail.

This is the 5 day forecast for rainfall, ending Saturday morning. Once again, most of the heaviest rainfall should remain to our south, however, these are averages. Some areas will probably get a LOT more, and some a LOT less. We could still see some places in our area getting upwards of 2 inches for the week.

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