A “regional tornado outbreak possible Tuesday afternoon and evening across parts of the Lower to Mid-Mississippi Valley,” the Storm Prediction Center warned Monday morning. A Level 4 of 5, moderate risk, for severe storms has been issued by the prediction center for Tuesday afternoon and evening. The moderate risk encompasses 1.5 million people from northeastern Louisiana to southern Tennessee, including portions of the Memphis metroplex and Greenville in Mississippi.
“Another challenge with nighttime tornadoes, especially in the fall and winter, is that storms typically move very quickly, at times 50 or 60 mph,” Bunting said. “This means that you must make decisions quickly and take shelter based on information contained in the severe thunderstorm or tornado warning, and not wait until the storm arrives.” Bunting pointed out another concern will be the potential for flooding, thanks to heavy rainfall resulting from repeated rounds of thunderstorms.
