CNN
A powerful storm is shaping up to deliver a possible triple threat of wind, tornadoes and flooding to parts of the South Wednesday as the region continues to recover from the impact of back-to-back severe weather systems.
More than 45 million people are under an enhanced severe weather threat (level 3 of 5) across the Southeast, where parts of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and the western Carolinas could see damaging winds and a few tornadoes.
More than 2 million people in areas of Georgia and Florida are also under a flood watch Wednesday morning to Thursday morning. The forecast calls for 2 to 4 inches of widespread rainfall with some isolated areas getting around 5 inches.
The US and Ukraine are expected to sign a bilateral security pact on the sidelines of the G7 in Italy on Thursday, multiple people familiar with the matter told CNN, in a deal that lays out a path for the US’ long-term security relationship with Kyiv but that could also be undone by future US administrations.
