Strong to Severe Storms Possible Early Saturday Mid-South/TN Valley

A warm front is lifting northward through MS/AL with very warm/moist conditions for mid-January with temperatures into the mid 60s to near 70 degrees. Already noticing some heavier downpours and isolated storms associated with the warm front; however, this is not the main feature of concern for tonight.

A cold front stretches from near Evansville, IN-West Memphis, AR, Pinebluff, AR. This front will continue to progress east-southeast through the overnight and early morning hours. As it approaches and interacts with the warm/moist air ahead of it thunderstorms will become more likely with some of the thunderstorms potentially becoming severe with damaging winds the main threat.

Stay weather aware but get your sleep, too. I highly recommend WeatherCall as the source you should depend on for your weather alerts and warnings. For a minimal fee it will contact you only when a warning is issued for your location so you don't have to worry about being awoken by the weather radio for storms miles away. As a meteorologist, I would not recommend a weather safety product unless I was convinced it is a life saver. After the tornadoes of 2011 it became evident on just how life saving WeatherCall is.
