Just found out I'm going to be able to get off Tuesday so I'm now thinking of riding to Mempho. I live in the Tupelo area and would drive up Tuesday afternoon. What's the latest for North MS to Memphis corridor?
U are good for Tuesday. Wednesday might be another issue.
This is a simulated radar from the HRRR for Wednesday afternoon around 4:00. If storms materialize similar to this then I'll be concerned as this would be a group of discrete supercells that would almost assuredly be severe and some likely tornadic. That said, the local NWS offices are all far from sold on the Wednesday event as even this close in there are still significant model discrepancies. Hopefully, things become a lot clearer tomorrow.

Latest SPC update has kept the slight risk but mentioned they are considering an upgrade to enhanced if current trends continue. If the enhanced upgrade occurs, it will be for an increased tornado risk and allowing for the possibility of strong tornadoes. Looking at the latest HRRR I can't help but think this happens as it still shows several discrete supercells in an environment primed for severe storms and tornadoes. Next update is around 11:30 this morning. At that time I am probably going to create a new thread just for Wednesday and leave this one for the Saturday severe event and the cold air intrusion afterwards until closer to time.
The SPC has maintained the current slight risk for Saturday. They've also added a slight risk for Friday to include extreme NW MS. Even though they kept the slight for Saturday the wording they used is concerning. I'd be willing to bet the threat is upgraded to at least enhanced before we get to Saturday. While not yet certain, things are trying to shape up for a significant event for Saturday.
As for the white death following all the severe weather, the models are starting to back off that. But then don't they always?
SPC has left the slight risk and not upgraded for tomorrow. Models are now showing a weaker system than originally forecast.
