Severe thunderstorms and elevated tornado risks are already being indicated Sunday for much of the Lower and Middle Mississippi Valleys as well as both the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. We could see numerous severe thunderstorms break out in this region Sunday. The storm is going to reach maximum intensity Sunday night and Monday as the cold front heads eastward.
