Severe storms bringing flooding, rain and heavy snow along eastern US
ABC News
A large swath of severe storms will be bringing a mix of flooding, rain and heavy snow, mostly along the eastern U.S. from the South all the way to the Northeast.
The eastern United States is being hit with severe weather this weekend, bringing flooding to the Southeast, rain to the mid-Atlantic and snow to the Northeast.
This weekend, 25 million Americans from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., are under a flood watch as heavy rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning threaten the southwestern U.S. Meanwhile, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida panhandle are at risk of isolated tornados.
A Tornado Watch is in effect for the panhandle of Florida, including Tallahassee and Panama City, until 6 p.m. CT. Storms moving through will be capable of producing damaging winds gusts and a possible tornado.
Another area of concern is northern Alabama. Storms there may create similar risks with damaging wind and a possible tornado late Saturday afternoon into the evening. However, a watch is unlikely to be issued here according to the Storm Prediction Center.
After picking up around two months' worth of rain in the last few days, parts of eastern Texas and Louisiana are still dealing with major river flooding.
