Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flooding rainfall will flare up through Wednesday in parts of the Gulf Coast states.
Severe weather expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, estimates 48 tornadoes have occurred in five states since Friday. The Storm Prediction Center and local NWS offices have received 575 reports of severe weather since Friday morning, mainly across this hard-hit strip of the South.
Monday, a squall line roared through the New Orleans metro, blowing train cars off the Huey P. Long Bridge and spawning a brief EF1 tornado in Jefferson Parish near Kenner. At its peak, just over 200,000 customers were without power in Lousiana and east Texas from thunderstorm winds.
Hail up to golf ball size (1.75 inches in diameter) was reported Monday evening in Florida, including Lake Placid, Stuart and near Okeechobee as a severe thunderstorm moved through.
