"South Braces for Multiday Severe Weather Outbreak with Tornado Threat"

A Tornado Watch has been issued for parts of Central Texas, including Austin and Waco, as a multiday severe weather outbreak begins in the South, with the potential for very large hail, damaging wind gusts, and EF-2 or stronger tornadoes. The threat covers Texas and Louisiana on Tuesday before shifting eastward into portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Wednesday. The South also faces the potential for life-threatening flooding, with several cities expecting multiple inches of rain over the next few days.
