A significant outbreak of severe weather, including tornadoes,  is likely for Giles County on this Palm Sunday weekend.

The anticipated severe weather and tornado event is coming only a couple of days after a massive storm blast the central United States .

The storm is poised to tap into surging warmth and moisture, while a strong jet stream sweeps over the lower Mississippi Valley.
