The forceful storm that flattened buildings in a northwest Arkansas city Wednesday is taking aim Thursday at parts of Mississippi and Alabama, where some areas are being warned of the potential for dangerous tornadoes.
Several tornadoes -- some of which may be intense -- and damaging winds up to 70 mph are expected in parts of southern Alabama, western Georgia and the Florida Panhandle, forecasters warned. The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for those areas through 8 a.m. ET.
"Conditions will support the potential for a few strong/potentially intense tornadoes into the overnight," the Storm Prediction Center warned Wednesday.
