    For the third week in a row: Over 8 million people at risk of severe storms in Southeast

For the third week in a row
Dangerous storms sweep over Southeast

Severe risk on Tuesday

This makes the third week in a row with multi-day severe weather swinging across the South. This week started, once again, with almost 50 preliminary damaging wind reports and 39 hail reports across north Texas, northern Louisiana, central Mississippi, and Alabama. Tuesday, will not be any different, as it comes charged with the chance for severe storms to push over the Southeast.

Severe storms have already started over parts of southern Mississippi and southwest Alabama. The highest threat, level 3 out of 5, will continue to move east and affect the southern two-thirds of Georgia through much of South Carolina through the afternoon.

Severe storms will likely produce multiple reports of damaging winds, large hail, as well as numerous tornadoes. Residents from Montgomery, Ala., through Tallahassee, Fla., to the coastal town of Savannah, Ga., need to pay close attention as the atmosphere promises to be in the perfect condition to produce dangerous storms through the late afternoon into the early evening.

Make sure to have at least 3 ways of receiving weather alerts.

But severe thunderstorms will extend well outside of the mentioned area too. There is a marginal risk, level 1 of out 5, that extends over North Carolina and northward through the east-central Florida coast. The main threat of the storms that could form in these areas are damaging winds, hail, and a tornado or two.

Timing of severe storms

Expect the storms to move quickly east. By midnight the severe storms will be winding down and moving over the coastal waters of the Atlantic.

Flood threat too!

Southeastern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southern Georgia could experience flooding as the thunderstorms are expected to be numerous and drop up to 4 inches of rain with some localized areas likely receiving over 5 inches of rain as the storms pass one after another over the same regions. Make sure to stay away from flooded streets, even if you transit them frequently and think the water is not as deep.
