Severe storms threaten Ohio Valley, Central Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic with wind and flooding

A Level 2 out of 4 flash flood risk covers parts of southeastern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, much of West Virginia and southwest Virginia. East Tennessee and western and central North Carolina face the greatest threat of damaging wind gusts from severe storms.
