Memphis, TN – Scattered strong storms could sweep across parts of the South from Texas to Mississippi beginning late Sunday, bringing threats of large hail, damaging winds, and a few isolated tornadoes.
According to the National Weather Service Memphis office, a slight risk of severe weather—defined as a 15% or greater probability within 25 miles of any point—is forecast from late Sunday, March 30, into early Monday morning, March 31. The primary concern is large hail, with storm cells also capable of producing gusty winds and isolated tornadoes.
Areas at risk include eastern Texas cities like Dallas and Tyler, central and southern Arkansas including Little Rock, northern Louisiana, western Mississippi including Jackson, and western Tennessee including Memphis. Forecasters stress the timing may shift, with storms likely intensifying overnight into early Monday.
The outlook currently carries a medium confidence rating. While storms are expected to be short-lived and scattered, any that develop may quickly become severe.
Residents in the affected zones should review emergency plans and ensure multiple methods of receiving weather alerts. Secure loose outdoor items and avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather periods.
