Severe Thunderstorms Threaten Parts of the South Saturday

Severe thunderstorms could develop in parts of the South Saturday from a powerhouse storm system moving through the Plains states.

Southerly winds ahead of the storm will help draw moisture northward from the Gulf of Mexico into the lower Mississippi Valley That moisture, in tandem with strong winds in the upper atmosphere, will help trigger the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms.

The threat of severe thunderstorms increases through Saturday evening along the tail end of the cold front.

The greatest chance of severe thunderstorms stretches from near Lufkin, Texas, into western Tennessee.

Tornado warnings were issued Tuesday night in association with severe thunderstorms in Arkansas, Louisiana and MIssissippi.

Two people were reportedly injured just north of Baskin, Louisiana, when a trailer rolled in high winds caused by an EF2 tornado around 6 p.m. CST. Several other homes in the area were damaged, according to a preliminary report from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.
