(ETH) – For the second weekend in a row, the Southern regions of the United States from Texas to the Carolinas are under the gun for severe weather. This same region was struck by 105 tornadoes over Easter weekend and is now yet again on high alert for another round of tornado-related storms.
“It will probably feel a bit like deja vu to residents in the Southeast, with another enhanced threat for severe weather this Sunday,” said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller.
According to the report, Thunderstorms will begin forming on Saturday afternoon with the main threat being hail, with a low chance for tornadoes. “A few strong to severe storms are possible on Saturday, much like last weekend over Texas and Arkansas,” said CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen. “But the main event will take place on Sunday.”
The greatest concern will come on Sunday where storms are likely to begin early that morning in Mississippi and Alabama. Initially, the main risk will be hail. But the storms are expected to grow more severe throughout the day. As we approach that afternoon, the primary system will push out of Texas and through the Southeast.
The States that were hit hard by last week’s storms are particularly vulnerable, according to Miller, Which includes Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Places like Southern Mississippi — which saw two long-track tornadoes, 68 miles and 82.5 miles long — will once again be in the path of the storms.
