Forecasters are warning residents across the South to brace for a potential outbreak of severe thunderstorms through Tuesday night. More than 40 million people have an elevated risk of severe thunderstorms, with central Mississippi most at risk.
The danger will be amplified as predicted tornadoes are expected be fast-moving and sometimes wrapped in rain, reducing lead time and making them hard to see. Additionally, the threat of tornadoes may continue after dark, when they are known to be most deadly. Some of the areas most at risk have many poorly-constructed homes that are vulnerable to tornado damage.A number of tornado watches and warnings will probably be issued amid the rapidly evolving weather situation.
The threat of severe weather will continue into parts of the Southeast on Wednesday, but storm intensity should ease some.The level 4 out of 5 risk of severe weather includes most of central Mississippi, extreme northeastern Louisiana and extreme northwest Alabama. In Mississippi, it includes Jackson, Meridian, Clinton, Pearl and Vicksburg.Surrounding that region is a level 3 out of 5 risk of severe weather for much of the Lower Mississippi Valley. This zone includes Monroe and Alexandria, La.
Even more concerning is the road network of the Deep South. Unlike on the Plains, where one-mile grids are the standard, the roadways in Mississippi are labyrinthine and winding, offering few if any reasonable escape paths for those seeking to relocate from mobile homes ahead of a storm.On severe weather days, advanced preparation is key. Ensure that, wherever you go, you are no more than five minutes from a sturdy tornado shelter — ideally something below ground and without windows.
