Weather forecasts indicate minimal change in the potential for severe storms on Wednesday, according to officials.

Meteorologists indicate that the threat of severe storms remains consistent with earlier predictions for Wednesday.

The National Weather Service in Jackson has completed surveys of tornado and wind damage from severe weather in late April, confirming three EF-0 tornadoes and significant straight-line winds in Arkansas and Mississippi.

Meteorologists warn of potential severe weather on Wednesday, with specific threats and timing to be announced later.

Several locations experienced their lowest high temperatures on record Friday, according to weather officials.

Forecast for this evening remains unchanged, with 1 to 2 inches of snow south of I-20 and up to 1 inch north of the highway.

Rain will persist and become steadier this afternoon into tonight, with some areas experiencing heavy downpours. Cooler, drier weather is expected over the weekend.

A weather system moving along the Gulf Coast is forecast to bring widespread heavy rain, potentially causing localized flooding in low-lying and urban areas.

Severe weather is expected across parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, with damaging winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes. Flash flooding is also a concern.

Officials say no additional severe weather is expected overnight in the area.
