The highest chance for tornadoes, including a few strong ones, will be from western Tennessee into central Louisiana.
The severe weather threat ramps up late Friday afternoon and especially in the evening.
It will be important to stay weather aware across parts of the Deep South well after sunset.
The severe weather threat moves into the Southeast — including the Florida Panhandle — on Friday, but the threat will be much lower. Still, an isolated strong thunderstorm will be possible.
