Today, the threat of severe weather stretches from parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas northward through the interior Northeast, including Pennsylvania and southwest New York. That includes Atlanta, Birmingham, Alabama, Charlotte, Charleston, West Virginia, Nashville and Pittsburgh.

Localized damaging wind gusts will be the main threat, which could down trees or knock out power in spots. That said, a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Heavy rain might also trigger flash flooding in spots.
