Looks like that severe weather threat for Northeast Mississippi has diminished significantly from what was originally expected. The National Weather Service has trimmed the area for a marginal risk to roughly east of Corinth-Tupelo-Columbus.

And the marginal threat for severe storms on Saturday is gone.
However, the below-freezing weather is coming by the end of the weekend.
