“Expect an active weather day across the Southeast as a front moves through the region. Strong thunderstorms are on the horizon, particularly from Jackson to Atlanta and extending to the Carolinas on Monday. Damaging winds are the main threat, with a chance of isolated tornadoes later in the day. Memphis, New Orleans, and Houston will see rain showers bringing needed moisture, while the line of storms advances eastward. Exercise caution on the roads during your morning commute due to slick conditions. Temperatures will remain steady, with cooler air moving in after the front passes.”
