Cluster of showers and thunderstorms is attempting to get its act together in Shelby County. These are moving northeast at 25-30 mph and will have heavy rain and stronger winds [40-50 mph] in them
#TNwx

Most of the Mid-South has been upgraded to a slight risk of severe weather on Wednesday, August 26th. Strong winds are the biggest threat out of this.
Could have storms in the morning, which could hinder the risk a little bit, but the afternoon/evening hours could be stormy.

A few more counties in #TNwx were added to the severe thunderstorm watch, including Gibson, Benton, Carroll and Henry Counties. I don't anticipate this watch [which is until 3 AM] to be extended to the south, but keeping an eye on radar [which is 'behaving' locally].

A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for Northwest #TNwx, Southeast #MOwx and Northeast #ARwx until 3 AM. Strong winds are the biggest issue with this.
Expecting a line to weaken as it approaches the Mid-South, but it could still pack a bit of a punch.

Cluster of showers and thunderstorms [some severe] continue to slide to the southeast at around 45 mph in #ARwx. Thinking this avoids #TNwx but could move across the Mississippi River in #MSwx by about 4 PM. Strong winds, blowing dust, heavy rain would be biggest issues.

Skycam in Oxford, #MSwx doesn't look the happiest, either!

While the Mid-South is free of severe weather, some 50 mph winds will be moving through Northern #MSwx over the next couple of hours. Heavy rain and lightning will accompany the storms, which are moving to the east-southeast at around 30 mph.
