The forecast will turn active as we head into the weekend.
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT: We'll be mainly cloudy with a chance for a spotty shower today. No big issues with rain. Highs will be around 80.
SATURDAY: Skies will be cloudy with widespread rain and periodic rumbles of thunder developing
in the morning, lingering on through late afternoon. Rain will come to an end in the evening. Severe weather is not a concern.
SUNDAY: The morning and afternoon hours will be dry. We will actually break out into sunshine at times, helping push temperatures up into the low 80s. That will add fuel to the atmosphere for storms to work with later on. Storms are expected to develop after sunset, coming to an end before sunrise on Monday morning. While all storms will not be severe, a few may reach severe limits with a threat for damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. All of the Mid-South is under an "Enhanced Risk" (Level 3/5) for severe weather.
STAY CONNECTED - We encourage you to have multiple ways to receive weather information - especially as we head into April, which is another busy month for severe weather in the Mid-South. Download the WREG weather app for the latest forecast details while you are out and about this weekend. Make sure your location is turned ON, so you can receive watch and warning information for your exact location. With this potentially being an overnight event, you need a way to be woken up if a warning is issued. Keep your phone volume on loud. A NOAA weather radio is a great investment as well.
Should any warnings be issued in the Mid-South, our live coverage can be watched right here on wreg.com, as well as the new WREG+ app on your smart TV.
We'll get a break from the rain and storms on Monday and Tuesday. More active weather is expected on Wednesday, into Thursday. Those storms may come with a severe weather risk as well. Stay with the weather experts for the latest details! ...read more read less
