Forecast Breakdown
A cold front that drapes through the mid-west will push east-northeast today. This front will cause the severe activity to continue into the night. The highest risk of tornadoes is in Mississippi and west Alabama as shear is most favorable. Large hail and strong damaging winds is the main threat along all risk areas.
Further north, lines of storms will produce heavy rain and gusty winds. See our dedicated coverage of this weekend’s rain across the Plains and Midwest: http://bit.ly/2oQ60f8
