Forecasted Severe Weather: Potential Storms and Tornadoes approach Southern Regions this Weekend
** Here's a rundown of this weekend's forecast for potentially vicious storms, tornadoes, and destructive hail sweeping through parts of the South:**
Severe Storms and Tornadoes
It appears that a multitude of significant tornadoes, some potentially long-lasting and intense, are set to persist until evening on March 16, 20255. The areas most likely to experience these twisters include eastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, western Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle1. This threat comes on the heels of storms that have already left a trail of havoc in Mississippi, with Paradise Ranch RV Park reporting catastrophic damage1.
Damaging Hail
While the main dangers are tornadoes and high winds, there's also a risk of large hail3. However, specific hail forecasts are less focused on compared to tornadoes and wind predictions.
Weekend Outlook
Over the weekend, the storms are expected to move eastward, with the worst weather hitting cities in the Deep South like New Orleans, Louisiana and Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday2. Some regions in Louisiana and Alabama currently face a Level 4 out of 5 risk, suggesting a high probability of supercell thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes and violent winds[6]. As the storm moves further east on Sunday, it'll weaken slightly and target the I-95 corridor on the East Coast, with tornadoes most likely to appear on the Virginia coast and in North and South Carolina.
Affected Areas
In recent days, the Southern Plains have witnessed extreme weather, including wildfires and strong gusts1. Meanwhile, states like Georgia and Alabama have declared emergency status due to the severe weather threat1. Stay informed and be prepared for these weather conditions!
