Today (December 18, 2025), there’s only a low (marginal) risk of severe thunderstorms in parts of the Mississippi, Tennessee, and lower Ohio Valleys, as well as coastal North Carolina.
- Through this evening in the Mississippi/Tennessee/Ohio Valleys and Southeast: Isolated strong to severe storms could bring occasional damaging wind gusts. There’s a small chance for a tornado or two, mainly in areas like Mississippi and Alabama where there’s a bit more moisture.
- Late tonight into early Friday along coastal North Carolina (including the Outer Banks): A few isolated storms might turn locally severe, with possible damaging winds or a tornado, but confidence is low due to uncertainties about moisture return.
Overall, the threat is limited—not widespread or intense—and many areas will just see regular thunderstorms or strong non-severe winds from the front. Stay aware if you’re in these spots, but no major outbreak is expected.
