Severe Weather Update- Starkville, MS

This is the current radar image for Starkville.  A line of thunderstorms located 40 to 50 miles west of Starkville will continue to push off to the southeast at around 40 MPH.  These storms will likely push through Starkville between 3 and 330PM.  Expect strong winds in excess of 60 MPH, very heavy rain and dangerous lightning.  The red box indicates a tornado watch which continues until 6PM tonight when the severe weather threat diminishes and moves off to our east.  I will keep this updated as thunderstorms advance eastward.

This is my latest broadcast where I detail the approaching storms as well as this weeks forecast.  It's not great, but it has the information you need.

Severe Storm Risk for Starkville, MS

This is the current severe weather outlook according to the Storm Prediction Center.  Areas highlighted in dark red have the greatest risk for severe weather tomorrow (Monday).  Starkville is at the center of the 3 yellow rings.  Expect thunderstorms to move through Starkville late in the day, most likely between 4PM and 6PM.  These storms will contain strong damaging winds in excess of 70 MPH and very heavy rain.  Small hail is possible, however I do not think hail will be a huge threat tomorrow.  Some storms may develop out ahead of the main line earlier in the day which may contain strong winds and a slight risk of tornadoes.  Current models indicate thunderstorms developing along a line which reduces the risk for tornadoes. Given the fact that winds at the surface and aloft will be moving parallel to the front (from southwest to northeast) indicates storms will likely produce damaging wind gusts.  I will keep this updated as storms develop and progress throughout the day tomorrow.  Stay alert to changing weather and watches/warnings from the National Weather Service, which I will do my best to relay here and on Twitter/Facebook.
