The same potent low-pressure system will produce additional severe weather across the southeastern U.S. today into early next week. 

A Tornado Watch is currently up from southern Alabama and far western parts of the Florida Panhandle to west-central Georgia. This includes Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., Pensacola, Fla., and Atlanta.

The warm, moist atmosphere protruding from the Gulf will track eastward which is why the Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk for severe weather from the central Gulf coast to the western edge of North Carolina. Cities include Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., New Orleans, and Atlanta. The main threats will be damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and flash flooding. 

Flood Watches & Warnings have taken up a huge portion of the Lower Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio valleys, where area rivers and streams have pushed over their banks. The Southeast and parts of Appalachia will be dealing with flash flooding concerns for the next two days, with 2 to 4 inches of rain in the forecast. 

Severe weather will continue its trek further east over northern Florida, southeastern Georgia, and southern South Carolina on Monday. These areas are under a Slight Risk where large hail, high winds, and an isolated tornado will be possible. 

The best way to remain safe is to stay prepared and informed about your local weather. Have a severe weather kit packed with a battery-operated radio, water, and non-perishable food items should you be without power for long periods of time. Also, check the WeatherBug app frequently for any updates on today’s severe weather. Remember, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”
