"Multiple Rounds of Dangerous Storms Threaten South with Strong Tornadoes"

The South is facing a severe storm threat with multiple rounds of dangerous storms expected to bring damaging winds, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes through the end of the workweek. A storm system similar to the one earlier in the week is forecast to impact the region, with some communities at heightened risk. The threat zone runs from east of the Mississippi River through parts of Florida and northward into the Carolinas, with the potential for supercell thunderstorm development and stronger tornadoes. The severe weather is expected to push off the East Coast by Saturday morning, and the month of January has seen an above-average number of tornadoes and damaging wind reports.
