🚨MULTI-DAY SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK LIKELY🚨

Our primary focus for next week is on this coming Tuesday and Wednesday for a substantial, multi-day severe thunderstorm event with Large to very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are likely!

📌Tuesday: Large to very large hail should occur with initially discrete convection, and damaging winds will be a concern as convection grows upscale Tuesday night. Greater tornado potential may focus across the central Plains into parts of the Midwest/mid-Mississippi Valley. Confidence is greatest in supercells occurring Tuesday afternoon/evening.

📌Wednesday: Convection still posing some severe threat may be ongoing Wednesday morning across parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Mid-South. It appears likely that scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms will develop with all severe hazards possible. Substantial destabilization Wednesday afternoon will aid in discrete supercells development. Given the forecasted environment, the support of a continued severe threat through much of the overnight hours is also possible.

A lot still can change in the forecast given we are several days out, so stay tuned for the latest updates!
