Flash Flood, Tornado Risk Continues in Eastern U.S.
Severe thunderstorms will continue to impact the eastern U.S. from Wednesday through Friday, bringing damaging winds, flash flooding, isolated tornadoes, and dangerous lightning. After Tuesday's storms triggered widespread flooding in West Virginia and prompted a statewide emergency, the threat shifts toward the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Southern Delaware, Virginia, and North Carolina face the highest risk on Wednesday, with wind gusts up to 75 mph and rainfall rates exceeding 2 inches per hour in the strongest storms.
