First Alert: Strong storms possible on Wednesday afternoon & evening

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A weather system will deliver our next round of rain on Wednesday and some strong to severe storms will be possible.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) placed most of north Mississippi under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) on Wednesday. This means that scattered severe storms are possible. The rest of the area is under a marginal risk (1 out of 5).

The morning will be mostly dry, but scattered thunderstorms will be possible in the late afternoon and evening. The greatest instability will be in the evening after 3 pm, so storm chances will be highest at that time. Some storms could have damaging winds.

There is a low threat for flash flooding, but heavy rain could cause ponding on the roads on Wednesday night. Rainfall totals will be 1-1.5″ in most areas.
