Another Stormy Saturday

We are heading into a wet weekend for the last few days of March. Thunderstorms are going to make a pass throughout the mid-South for our Saturday. The below surface map identifies a stationary boundary crossing Indiana and Illinois which can take off as the low pressure field in Michigan gains strength. Storms will mainly be in the afternoon hours as well.

These thunderstorms also have a chance of being severe when they arrive. However, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama face a slight risk for severe weather. For us in Bowling Green, there is a marginal risk for severe weather. For more information regarding these risks, check out this website.
