Name: Damaging Winds, Hail, Tornadoes Threaten South
Channel: The Weather Channel
Description: Severe storms threaten the Deep South today in a swath from Oklahoma to Virginia. The main concern for cities like Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham is damaging winds, but large hail and isolated tornadoes are also possible. Any storms that develop could get stuck and trained over the same areas, leading to potential flash flooding and river flooding as water levels continue to rise.
