"South and Mississippi Valley Braces for Severe Storms and Flooding Threat"

Severe storms are forecast to bring heavy rain, large hail, and potential strong tornadoes to the South and lower Mississippi Valley, threatening tens of millions of Americans. More than 30 million people are at risk for severe storms, with areas in Texas and Louisiana facing an enhanced risk. Flood watches have been issued, and flash flooding and minor to moderate river flooding are expected in parts of Mississippi and Louisiana. The severe weather has prompted cancellations and warnings from officials, with the threat shifting further into the Southeast and the Ohio Valley by Thursday.

Severe Storms and Tornadoes Threaten Midwest and South.

A dangerous storm system is expected to hit the Upper Midwest and South, bringing with it fast-moving storms that could produce damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail. Widespread and damaging thunderstorms are likely, and flash flooding is also possible. The storms could affect an area stretching from Louisiana to Wisconsin, including Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, St. Louis, Des Moines, Chicago, and other major cities. Crews worked to clear debris from drains in areas prone to flooding, and officials encouraged residents to have a plan to take shelter, prepare for possible power outages, and have multiple ways to get weather alerts.

"South Braces for Severe Tornado Outbreak"

The Lower 48 is experiencing severe weather and flooding, with a storm reaching its peak on Friday that could produce strong tornadoes and destructive winds in the Mid-South, and flooding rain from the Ozarks to the Ohio Valley. The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has declared a Level 4 of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms for northeastern Louisiana, southeastern Arkansas, and much of Mississippi, plus a sliver of southwest Tennessee including Memphis. The storm is being energized by the same dip in the jet stream that swept a powerful storm through California on Tuesday and Wednesday and delivered tornadoes there.

Severe storms and tornadoes threaten Central and Southern US.

A severe weather outbreak is expected to hit the southern Plains and spread across the Mississippi Valley on Friday, with the potential for large hail, damaging winds, flooding rainfall, and tornadoes. On the northern edge of this system, wintry weather and accumulating snow are expected from the upper Midwest to northern New England. The West is still dealing with cold air and mountain snow this weekend, while above-average temperatures over the South and Southeast will help fuel some of these strong storms.
