Severe weather is expected Saturday, March 30 as a cold front slices through the southern U.S. The areas at greatest risk include portions of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky where the Storm Prediction Center has highlights a slight risk of severe weather. A slight risk is on the lower end of severe threat scale, but still means tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail are possible in the area. [Related Article: What does the SPC outlook mean?]     Most storms will develop during Saturday afternoon and continue into the evening, moving from west to east generally. The storms will be triggered by a strong cold front as it moves east.
