Forecasters say scattered thunderstorms developing across the Mid-South on Mother’s Day could bring damaging winds and small hail through the afternoon and early evening. Drier, spring-like conditions are expected later in the week.

The National Weather Service said parts of Mississippi face a slight risk of severe storms from the afternoon of May 10 through the morning of May 11, including damaging winds and hail up to the size of a quarter.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation posted a Mother’s Day message thanking its employees who are mothers and asking the public not to litter, the agency said.

Forecasters say a marginal risk for a few severe thunderstorms exists across parts of east Arkansas, north Mississippi and southwest Tennessee later this afternoon into the evening, with damaging winds the primary threat.
