Severe Storms Sweep From Plains to Appalachians This Weekend
A widespread severe weather outbreak is expected to move from the Plains to the Appalachians through Sunday, bringing damaging wind gusts, flash flooding, large hail and a few tornadoes. Friday's strongest storms will target parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee before shifting into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys on Saturday. By Sunday, the threat reaches the Appalachians, while isolated severe storms continue across the High Plains and Gulf Coast with locally heavy rain and dangerous lightning.
