More than 30 million people are under the threat of severe weather Friday from Texas to Alabama. Another 20 million will be impacted Saturday as the severe threat shifts east into the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. "A complex low pressure system will begin to bring a threat of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms across the Deep South on Friday," the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) says. "The unstable airmass will promote the development of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms which will likely expand eastward across the Deep South late Friday into early Saturday."Elected officials, Jewish advocacy groups and civil rights leaders are vowing to “push back” against the message of a White nationalist group that staged a march last week near downtown Columbus, Ohio, calling the demonstration an act of hate unwelcome in their community – and the United States more broadly.
