*A lot of severe weather reports have been received today. As of typing, there have been 4 reported tornadoes, 95 wind reports, and 360 hail reports! That is a lot of hail!!

*So far, the largest hail reported has been 4.25" (between grapefruit and softball size) in both Priceville, Kentucky and Pinnacle Mountain, Arkansas. That size of hail can cause create injury if it happens to strike you. Remember, during severe thunderstorms you want to get to the lowest floor of the building, away from outside walls and windows. While we are not expecting any hail to be that large in the viewing area, we could see some hail approaching upwards of two inches...along with some strong wind gusts up to 60mph.

*The line of thunderstorms is still well to the north (click the image above to make it larger to view), but it is moving southward. Currently, the strongest winds are moving through Tupelo. There are some thunderstorm warnings out in Alabama, but none in the state of Mississippi (as of while I'm typing). Still looks like the line will continue to weaken as it moves south. So, hopefully we'll just see some nice rain with some embedded thunder and breezes.
