A storm that is traversing the eastern U.S. this week is bringing the chance of severe weather and flooding to the South.
Today’s phase of the system could produce severe thunderstorms across southeastern Texas, in some of the same places that were hit hard by last week’s ice storm. Tornadoes and damaging wind gusts are the primary threats with any severe storms that develop.
Farther north, the system is bringing the potential for flooding in northern Texas, eastern Oklahoma, western Arkansas and far southwestern Missouri. Some places in these areas could pick up as much as 5 inches of rain.
