Severe Weather, Tornado Threat Looms Over Southern US

A severe weather system is anticipated to affect the southern U.S. over the weekend, particularly from Saturday night into early Sunday. The Storm Prediction Center has issued an 'Enhanced Risk' for areas including northern Louisiana, Mississippi, and western Alabama, with potential for strong tornadoes, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall exceeding 6 inches in some regions. Meteorologists warn of a fast-moving storm that could bring significant thunderstorm activity, particularly from Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Residents are urged to review safety plans and prepare emergency supplies ahead of the storms. Flash flooding is also a concern, with a moderate risk issued for parts of the Mid-South and Appalachians. This follows recent storms in Mississippi that have already caused damage and raised concerns about additional severe weather this weekend.
