BROOKHAVEN — Thursday morning could be a little wet with rainfall and isolated severe thunderstorms. NWS Jackson forecasts the area to potentially see severe storms from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Lincoln County and Southwest Mississippi are at a marginal risk of severe storms Thursday. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph and become damaging to trees, limbs and power lines. Hail up to a quarter size could fall out of the sky.

If severe storms don’t move through Lincoln County the chance of rain is very high. Forecasts from the NWS Jackson office shows a 90 percent chance of precipitation meaning 90 percent of Lincoln County should see rain tomorrow.
