Severe Weather Update
*A few spotty showers are beginning to pop up across the area this morning, but no watches are in effect at this time. However, severe weather is expected in SE MS late this afternoon and into the evening hours. A PDS (Potentially Dangerous Situation) Tornado Watch Box has been issued just west of the river and encompasses much of Arkansas, extending into northern Louisiana.
*Throughout the afternoon today winds should begin to pick up quite significantly. A Wind Advisory has been issued for our area until 3am Sunday, meaning winds in excess of 30-40 mph is expected.
*As surface winds increase this afternoon, moisture will advect into the area very rapidly. This will create a more favorable environment (more instability) for the storms that do form this afternoon. Be advised that the storms that do form in SE MS will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.
Once we get into the overnight hours, any discrete cells will quickly turn into a very strong squall line.
*Nevertheless, very active weather expected over the next 15 hours....
