Rounds of severe thunderstorms may impact communities stretching from Texas to the Southeast through the weekend. High winds, damaging hail, and a few tornadoes are possible with some of these storms.

The WeatherRadar shows thunderstorms already underway in parts of the Mid-South, including Louisiana and Mississippi. The storms will continue to push east, affecting more areas of the Deep South and Florida later today. A slight risk of severe weather, a level two out of five, is in place for southern Texas, the northern Gulf Coast and eastern Florida. This includes cities like New Orleans, Mobile, Ala., and Jacksonville, Fla.

The same system bringing today's severe weather threat across the northern Gulf Coast will impact the Southeast and Florida Friday. A few strong storms will be possible, stretching from Fort Myers, Fla., to Virginia Beach, Va. Severe wind gusts and hail will be the main threats.

Friday will also feature the return risk of severe weather to the Plains. Another low-pressure system dropping in from the central Rocky Mountains will re-introduce an enhanced risk (threat level three out of five) for severe thunderstorms from north-central Texas to the middle and lower Rio Grande Valley. Damaging hail is currently the primary hazard and may affect cities such as Dallas, Waco, and Austin, Texas.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with the Plains low pressure system will reach the northern Gulf Coast on Saturday. Some of these storms could bring severe impacts to communities across southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, though the intensity of these storms is forecast to remain on the low-end. By Sunday, the storms shift east towards the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

With multiple rounds of severe weather in the forecast, now is the time to review your severe weather safety plan and turn on your Weather & Radar app alerts!
