The enhanced area for severe weather, which is a level three out of five, now extends further north into southeastern Arkansas and Mississippi. A few tornadoes are possible, and some may be strong. Stay alert!

Heavy rain in the ArkLaTex region has led to numerous flash flood warnings. Avoid flood waters and make sure the alerts are turned on in your Weather & Radar app. Heavy rain will continue into the rest of the afternoon in these areas.

Storms are starting to fire up in east Texas and Oklahoma. You can see them on the WeatherRadar. As this line pushes east this afternoon and evening, the severe weather threat will increase.

Severe storms are possible starting this afternoon and continuing into the overnight for portions of the Mississippi Valley. An enhanced threat for severe storms, a level three out of five, is in effect for east central Louisiana and much of central Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., is right in the middle of this enhanced risk area. Damaging winds, a few tornadoes, hail, and localized flash flooding are the main concerns.

While the severe weather threat is greatest in the enhanced risk area, the threat of a few strong storms extends north into the Tennessee Valley. A slight risk, level two out of five, includes Shreveport, La., New Orleans, and Little Rock, Ark. A marginal risk, level one of five, extends as far north as Illinois and includes parts of the Tennessee Valley.

‘Tis the season for having both spring-like weather and wintry weather all at the same time! While severe storms race across the southern tier, the northern flank of the same system is getting ready to bring snow and a frozen mix to those from the Midwest to the Northeast.

A strong low pressure is igniting severe weather today across the Deep South and it will move on where it will interact with colder air moving south from Canada starting Thursday. This interaction will allow for snow and even a frozen mix starting in Missouri and Iowa Thursday morning.

The WeatherRadar shows the snow beginning across Kansas City before sunrise Thursday before the wintry weather pushes northwards. Be sure to monitor local school closings as this storm moves through.

By Thursday afternoon, snow will move further into the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes. The Northeast will begin to see the wintry precipitation at this time too, first starting as rain then changing to a frozen mix and eventually snow by dinner time.

As of Wednesday morning, winter storm watches and winter weather advisories have been issued for northeastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin. Places like Ames, Iowa City, and Decorah, Iowa, as well as La Crosse, Janesville, and Green Bay, Wis.

Two to seven inches of snowfall are possible as this storm zips through. Not to be outdone, this storm packs a windy punch. Gusts up to 35 mph are possible within the winter storm watches and winter weather advisories region, but even gustier conditions are expected along the Ohio Valley through the Tennessee Valley.

High wind watches and wind advisories are posted ahead of the damaging gusts which could reach up to 55 mph, with locally higher gusts. Check it out on the WindRadar.

This full storm system leads the way for more seasonable temperatures to return to the central and eastern U.S. this week. Weather & Radar meteorologists will be paying close attention to the situation to bring you the latest updates.

Have your notifications switched on and utilize the Weather & Radar app on Android Auto, if your vehicle holds this capability, to stay safe on the roads during this storm.

Severe thunderstorms are possible in the South starting Wednesday, with more threats in the forecast for Thursday and Friday. Wednesday will bring the greatest risk for damaging winds, tornadoes, and localized flash flooding.

Keep your weather alerts on today if you live in the South. Low pressure over the Southern Plains will track northeast into the Midwest, dragging a cold front along with it. The WeatherRadar shows a potent line of storms setting up along the cold front early this afternoon in east Texas and then pushing east into Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi during the evening and nighttime hours.

Before the cold front moves in, highs will warm into the 60s and 70s for much of the South, priming the atmosphere. There is also plenty of Gulf moisture in place to supply these storms with energy. Since much of the severe weather threat will occur after sunset, it's important to pay close attention to conditions in your area.

An enhanced threat for severe storms, a level three out of five, is in effect for east central Louisiana and much of central Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., is right in the middle of this enhanced risk area. Damaging winds, a few tornadoes, hail, and localized flash flooding are the main concerns.

While the severe weather threat is greatest in the enhanced risk area, the threat of a few strong storms extends north into the Tennessee Valley. A slight risk, level two out of five, includes Shreveport, La., New Orleans, and Little Rock, Ark. A marginal risk, level one of five, extends as far north as Illinois and includes parts of the Tennessee Valley.

The severe weather threat also extends into Thursday and Friday of this week. Isolated severe storms are possible Thursday in southern Alabama, southern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. These storms could pose a low tornado risk along with damaging winds.

Parts of Indiana and Ohio could also see a few severe storms that produce damaging wind gusts as the low pressure moves into this area Thursday. High wind watches are in place for parts of the Ohio Valley. The WindRadar shows wind gusts in excess of 60 mph in this region Thursday afternoon and evening.

A few more strong storms will be possible Friday for the Florida Panhandle and south Georgia as this system pushes off the coast. Damaging wind is the main threat on Friday as these storms push through.

With severe weather threats like tornadoes, damaging winds, and flooding in the forecast, it's important to be prepared. Make sure your Weather & Radar alerts are turned on, and check conditions on the WeatherRadar before venturing out.

Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, February 12th, in Phoenix, marking the fourth Super Bowl to take place in Arizona’s state capital. While many will be in attendance watching the Chiefs and Eagles play, many will also be watching from home, especially in Kansas City and Philadelphia.

Whether you’re headed to State Farm Stadium, officially in Glendale, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix, or you’re enjoying the big game closer to home, Weather & Radar has the forecast available at your fingertips. Here’s a preview of what Sunday holds.

Low pressure will be diving south into southern California, stirring up moisture from the Pacific. This could allow for an isolated shower or two in the vicinity. Keep in mind that State Farm Stadium does not permit umbrellas longer than 12 inches in length.  Luckily, the stadium has a retractable roof that can be closed if necessary. Currently, the NFL plans to have it open.

On average, Phoenix’s February temperatures range from the upper 60s to the mid-70s. Weather & Radar’s long-range forecast shows highs in the low-to-mid 60s. Keep a close eye on the local forecast since we are still six days out and things could change.

Those going to watch parties happening across the Chief’s hometown will need at least a warm sweatshirt with game time temperatures starting out in the low-to-mid 50s. It could be breezy though, so it could feel cooler too.

The dry and sunny weather will provide great grilling chances for KC’s famous burnt ends but mind the winds as this could give the grill master some cooking issues. The current forecast points to this.

Philly will be the chilliest of the three spots on Super Bowl Sunday. We are keeping an eye on an eastern storm system for that day, and at this time, game time temperatures will be in the low 40s.

Should the low pressure make its way further north, Philadelphia could see rain or even snow. The greased light poles might not be the only thing that is slick if the Eagles win it all. Be sure to check in with the forecast daily to help you finalize those watch party plans. Your Weather & Radar app should be updated to the 2023.3.1 version to get the most accurate information.

We are still six days away from Sunday’s big game and the forecast could shift. The best way to know the latest forecast is to make sure your notifications are switched to “on” and to check your handy Weather & Radar app often.
