Severe Thunderstorm Threat Thu-Fri from Texas to the Mid-Atlantic

Thunderstorms are winding down overnight across the Southern U.S., but as we head into the second half of the work week, the pattern remains unsettled.

Another round of storms is expected on Thursday, stretching from Texas across the Deep South. The SPC has a SLIGHT risk (level 2 out of 5) for these severe storms, where the primary threats will be large hail and damaging winds.

Southeastern U.S.

As mentioned above, the SPC has issued a SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe weather across portions of Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, and northern South Carolina and Georgia. For these areas of the Mid-South to the southern Appalachian mountains, multiple corridors of scattered thunderstorms are expected Thursday afternoon.

A few supercells look to cluster throughout the afternoon and evening, bringing the threat of severe wind and hail in these spots. By Friday, more thunderstorms are expected to push through these areas, enhancing the flooding risk.

Texas

Portions of Texas are also under a SLIGHT risk for severe weather on Thursday. What we as meteorologists call a "shortwave" will enter this area generating numerous thunderstorms over the Trans-Pecos and Big Bend into the late afternoon hours.

Models favor the potential for supercells that could bring in strong severe hazards, including damaging winds and large hail. The timing looks best in the mid-afternoon hours here.

Unfortunately, with multiple rounds of storms, the flooding threat remains through the end of the week. For more details on the longer-range flood threat for areas like Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, read this related article here: Southeast Soaker This Weekend.
