Marginal risk for severe weather persists across Mid-South on Monday

The National Weather Service has issued a marginal risk for severe weather, level 1 of 5, across much of the Mid-South for Monday. The primary threat is damaging winds, with large hail and heavy rainfall as secondary concerns, according to forecasters.

Forecasters expect the highest likelihood of severe storms during the afternoon and evening hours. The most probable scenario involves storms developing upstream in Arkansas or Missouri and moving southeast into the region. There is also a possibility of storms moving into the area early Monday, but confidence in that forecast remains low.

The forecast remains subject to change as forecasters monitor evolving conditions throughout the day.
