Heavy Rain to Blast Ohio Valley

Following a severe thunderstorm outbreak Sunday night into Monday across the central United States, heavy rain will blast through the Ohio Valley while severe storms rattle the Southeast.
A cold front and upper-level energy from the system will be responsible for igniting a line of powerful storms from near Columbia, South Carolina, to Jacksonville, Florida, Tuesday.
"A squall line will is expected to march east through eastern portions of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys," said AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Storm Warning Meteorologist Kate Danna.
"The squall line will likely bring gusty winds with it due to the strong dynamics in place," added Danna.
Folks in the path should be prepared for downed trees and power outages as these storms blast through.
In addition to the winds, heavy downpours will also accompany the storms and could lead to flash flooding in communities. Motorists will want to be extra cautious if they are caught out in a storm. Alternative routes may be needed due to road closures.
A quick spin-up of a tornado along the squall line cannot be ruled out either.
