TUESDAY - Despite the chilly start Tuesday, sunshine along with southerly flow will allow us to warm into the lower to mid 70s. Pretty much a picture-perfect day that you should make plans to enjoy, because our weather goes downhill again on Wednesday. WEDNESDAY - Another significant severe threa t will unfold across the Mid-South Wednesday afternoon into the evening. While large hail, and damaging winds will again be the primary threats, it appears that the tornado risk will be higher than we had this past weekend thanks to stronger wind shear in the lower to mid levels of the atmosphere. REST OF THE WEEK - Wednesday's severe threat will usher in a very active weather pattern, with off and on showers/storms persisting through most of the upcoming weekend. Several inches of rain are likely (perhaps more than 10″ in a few spots) and will lead to flash flooding in areas especially north of I-40 later this week. 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. ...read more read less
