Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for Noxubee and Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9:00

Some pretty nasty looking storms have begun to fire in northern Mississippi, Alabama, and that complex of storms in Arkansas still persists also. That complex has just now begun to cross the Mississippi River. We have recieved a good bit of sunshine here over the past several hours that have really allowed us to heat up and destabilize the atmosphere. We have now reached a temperature of 90 degrees with a dewpoint of 70 degrees. A few severe thunderstorm warnings are now in effect for Noxubee county and numerous severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect for Alabama.
