Cross-country storm gets cranking Tuesday with severe weather, flooding possible in South
A storm that is traversing the eastern U.S. this week is bringing the chance of severe weather and flooding to the South.
Today’s phase of the system could produce severe thunderstorms across southeastern Texas, in some of the same places that were hit hard by last week’s ice storm. Tornadoes and damaging wind gusts are the primary threats with any severe storms that develop.
