Tornado Potential Remains High For Mid-South Tonight

Elevated risk for severe weather across parts of the mid-south this evening. An enhanced risk is in place for much of the area which means numerous severe storms will be possible producing all modes of severe weather.

Damaging winds and tornadoes will be the main concern as storms become more linear this evening. Secure any and all outdoor items and have a way to get alerts well into the overnight hours as severe storms will maintain intensity even after sunset.
