Here's the Latest...

* Wanted to post a quick update with our thinking...We've been evaluating the latest data all morning, and here's our best shot:

* The biggest threat of severe weather in the next 72 hours will come later tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded this to a "Moderate" risk of severe weather. Could see some really large hail and strong winds out of this. As far as tornadoes go, here's our best shot at the highest risk area:

Along and WEST of U.S. Highway 43
Along and NORTH of I-20
Along and EAST of Mississippi Highway 15

This includes places like Newton, Decatur, Meridian, Philadelphia, De Kalb, Scooba, York, and Collinsville.

Keep in mind that's just an estimate. Areas outside of that area could also see tornadoes, so ANYONE living in east Mississippi and west Alabama should definitely monitor the weather closely tonight.

Here's the official SPC outlook:

SPC Day 1 Outlook

* Still watching it, but the threat of severe weather Thursday afternoon/night seems pretty low. If we do see severe weather, it will probably be along and south of I-20...

* Back to work...
