"South Braces for Severe Weather and Flooding Threat"

Multiple rounds of severe weather and potential flooding are expected in the South this week, with large hail, wind damage, and a tornado threat accompanying the storms. The first round of storms will bring showers and possible severe thunderstorms through Wednesday, with a localized flood threat. A second, potentially more severe system is expected Thursday through Saturday, with areas from Texas to the Carolinas facing potential severe storms, heavy rainfall, and a heightened risk of flash flooding.
