Important Takeaways:

• Tens of millions of Americans from the Midwest to the Southeast are going to have another tense week as concerns grow that the U.S. could be rocked by another multiday severe weather outbreak.
• March typically marks the beginning of the active spring severe weather season, and this renewed risk comes after a deadly severe weather outbreak swept across the nation last week.
• This week, forecasters will monitor the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms as we approach the middle of the week and again as we get ready to welcome the weekend.
• Forecasters say that a larger severe weather threat looms for Friday and Saturday as a strong upper-level disturbance is expected to move from the Plains to the eastern U.S.
• “This is an update as of this morning,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Kendall Smith said. “The Storm Prediction Center has gone ahead and upped the ante even more. So, now it’s a level 3 out of 5 risk for Friday, as well as Saturday, for portions of the Southeast as well as the mid-South.”
• A deepening surface low will pull in moisture from the Gulf and send it north into the Mississippi Valley on Friday, and then into the Southeast by Saturday.
• “Severe storms with a risk of tornadoes, swaths of damaging winds and hail are expected Friday from the Ark-La-Tex into the middle and lower Mississippi Valley,” NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) said. “The severe risk will shift east toward the Southeast on Saturday.”
