Millions of people across the Southeast are under the threat of severe weather, including heavy rain and possibly isolated tornadoes, through Wednesday night.
Heavy rain that could cause flash flooding is forecast to impact the Tennessee Valley through Kentucky. This includes the metro area of Nashville, which was hit hard by flooding over the weekend. Over 39 million people from Louisiana through the Mid-Atlantic could see severe storms. The largest impacts from these will be damaging straight line winds from the Gulf Coast through the Carolinas; however the potential for isolated tornadoes exists with these storms as well.
