    Not for our region, but the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded central and southern Mississippi and Alabama to a Moderate Risk of tornadoes for this afternoon and tonight. And the KMXX radar is down for major upgrades on the east side of the Moderate risk zone near Montgomery/Auburn Alabama. What a change from a few days ago and a marginal risk.
