The National Weather Service is forecasting a slight threat (Level 2 out of 5) of severe weather for Mississippi on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and warned that damaging winds, hail and tornadoes are possible.
The National Weather Service is the federal agency responsible for issuing forecasts and warnings across the United States. It uses a multi-level scale to communicate the severity of potential severe-weather events; a Level 2 designation indicates a lower-tier but not negligible risk of organized severe storms.
The agency said residents should monitor the forecast and stay weather aware. Local officials and emergency managers typically watch such outlooks closely because even lower-level threats can produce isolated but dangerous conditions.
People in affected areas are advised to have a way to receive warnings and be prepared to take shelter if the situation deteriorates. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
