Storm Threat Monday Night

COLUMBUS, Mississippi (WCBI) – Our first big fall storm system will move through the area on Monday night. Severe storms with damaging winds and tornadoes are possible.

TONIGHT: Chilly. Lows in the upper 40s. An isolated shower is possible overnight as clouds build in from the west.

MONDAY STORM THREAT: Chilly in the morning, but it will get warmer and more humid throughout the day thanks to a southerly wind. Highs near 70°. A brief shower is possible during the day, but strong storms won’t arrive until after sunset. Timing is 5pm – 2am. Some storms could be severe with damaging winds and tornadoes. In addition to the severe risk, widespread heavy rain is likely as well. Stay alert and have a plan for Monday night! We’ll be with you, tracking the storms and keeping you updated.
