Severe storms are expected in parts of the South for the fourth straight day as the threat of tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail continues Sunday across some of the same areas still recovering from Friday night’s deadly tornadoes.
NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch for parts of central and southern Alabama and Middle Georgia until 1 p.m. EDT. This includes Montgomery in Alabama and Columbus and Macon in Georgia.
At least one tornado has already been reported Sunday morning across Middle Georgia, with some reports of damage south of LaGrange after the city was struck by a tornado-warned storm early Sunday.
Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely from central Louisiana eastward across the central Gulf Coast states and into the Carolinas on Sunday.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, several tornadoes are possible, including the possibility of a couple of EF-2 or stronger tornadoes. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are also significant threats with the strongest storms.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Southeast from Monday morning through the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the main hazards with these storms.
A separate threat of isolated severe storms is possible across parts of Central Texas on Monday evening, again with damaging wind gusts and large hail as the primary concerns.
