Spring storms are arriving with a bang, and forecasters are warning that Tuesday could be a rough one for millions across the South. From Texas to Mississippi, more than 30 million people are in the path of severe weather, with the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and even tornadoes.
What’s Coming?
This storm system has everything it needs to pack a punch—warm, unstable air clashing with strong winds in the upper atmosphere. That means:
- Winds up to 70 mph that could knock down trees and power lines
- Hail the size of golf balls or larger
- Tornadoes, some of which could be strong and long-lasting
Cities like Dallas, Houston, Shreveport, Jackson, and New Orleans are all in the danger zone, with storms expected to ramp up in the afternoon and evening hours.
How to Stay Safe
If you’re in the affected area, now is the time to get prepared. Have multiple ways to get weather alerts, charge your phone, and make sure you know where to go if a tornado warning is issued. Don’t wait until the last minute—severe weather can move fast.
The Bottom Line
March is making a loud entrance, and this storm system isn’t messing around. Stay weather-aware, keep an eye on updates, and be ready to take action if needed. Safety first—Mother Nature isn’t playing games.
