MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Severe storms and damaging winds are expected to move through the Mid-South this weekend.
Not much has changed in our outlook on Sunday. We’ll start the day with dry clouds and strong southerly winds.
If you have plans for the morning or afternoon, you should well write them in; hold on to your hat.
A series of severe storms moved into the Mid-South Sunday night. Damaging winds will be the main threat, but some spinning tornadoes are definitely possible within the line.
Risk of severe weather on Sunday
The Storm Forecast Center has classified the Central and South China regions as a severe risk with level 3/5 enhancement. A moderate risk of wind-driven 4/5 looks likely to escalate by tomorrow or Sunday.
These storms will move into eastern Arkansas around 5 or 6 o’clock, into the Memphis area around 7 o’clock, and into the eastern Memphis area between 8 and 10 o’clock. It takes about an hour.
Behind the strong cold front driving the storm, colder air will spread into the South Central on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach the 40s Sunday morning, with wind chills dropping below freezing.
There could be some light snow or even snow on the backside of the system Monday morning. Fortunately, the cooling will be temporary and highs will be back in the 60s by Wednesday and then back into the 70s by Thursday.
