The severe storms which knocked down trees and left thousands of Mississippians without power Saturday will be followed by two more rounds of stormy weather Monday and Wednesday. The National Weather Service has already placed much of the state including this area under a Level-2 “slight” risk for damaging winds and large hail Monday afternoon and evening as the frontal boundary which triggered Saturday’s storms moves back to the north as a warm front. Then, on Wednesday, another cold front will bring more storms and a larger part of the state will be under a Level-2 risk. Both storm systems could produce hail as big as golf balls and the Weather Service isn’t ruling out the possibility of tornadoes.
Regarding power outages from Saturday’s storms, 91 customers were reported without electricity in Leake County Sunday morning, with 19 outages in Holmes County and 15 in Attala County.
