Severe storms sweep through Appalachians and mid-Atlantic, causing damage and power outages.

Severe storms, including tornadoes and damaging winds, crossed the Appalachians and mid-Atlantic on Tuesday, with the threat tapering off but heavy rains still posing a risk of flooding. The storms were associated with wind damage, isolated large hail, and a few tornadoes, with flood warnings in effect in parts of the Ohio Valley and central and southern Appalachians. The NWS confirmed one tornado through radar in Kentucky, with dozens of reports of wind damage in Kentucky, Alabama, and Tennessee. The threat of flash flooding continues through midweek, with the next front expected to bring possible severe storms to the northern Plains and Rockies on Wednesday.
