Severe Weather Forecast: Damaging Winds, A Few Tornadoes Possible in the Deep South

A new storm system taking shape in the nation's midsection will continue to spawn severe weather and a risk of flooding as it sweeps eastward now through Tuesday. On the cold side of this same system, snow is falling in the Rockies and the adjacent Plains.

Below are the latest forecast details showing where thunderstorms with large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain will be a concern through Tuesday.

Monday:

• Scattered severe thunderstorms possible along the cold front in the South, including portions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, northwest Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
• Damaging wind gusts, hail and isolated tornadoes possible. Maximum TOR:CON value: 3
• Locally heavy rain may trigger flash flooding, since much of this area is still saturated from heavy rain a week ago.

Tuesday:

• A few severe storms may linger near the Southeast coast, from eastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula to northern Florida.
• Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, however, a few tornadoes are also possible in southeast Virginia and the eastern Carolinas.

Next threats:

• Thunderstorms with locally heavy rain, and potentially some severe weather, may rumble from the Texas Gulf Coast to Florida and the Southeast Coast Thursday through Saturday.
• A few strong t-storms may return to the Plains states this weekend.
• Neither of these events, for now, appear to be a widespread outbreak.
