The unseasonable warmth across the South will go out with a bang on
Monday--in the form of severe weather across the Tennessee Valley.
Southeastern Kentucky, central and eastern Tennessee, northeastern
Mississippi, northern Alabama and northwestern Georgia are expected to
become the target of violent thunderstorms on Monday afternoon.
The strongest of these thunderstorms will be capable of unleashing
damaging winds, hail and downpours. A few tornadoes may also touch down
and cause destruction.
The powerful thunderstorms will then shift to the south and east early
on Monday night, rattling southwestern Virginia, western North Carolina,
places just to the north and west of Atlanta and central Alabama.
Among the communities in Monday's threat zone include London, Ky.,
Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn., Tupelo, Miss., Huntsville
and Birmingham, Ala., and Rome, Ga.
Sparking Monday's severe weather will be a cold front, part of the storm that will soon return disruptive snow to parts of the Upper Midwest and Northeast, set to erase April-like warmth encompassing the South this weekend.
