US Hazards
Thunderstorms will continue to move across Region 1 through the morning and into the afternoon, maintaining and increasing in intensity. As thunderstorms continue to progress eastward across Western Tennessee and Southwestern Kentucky, the damaging winds will be the primary threat. Hail will be possible within the strongest cells as well as frequent lightning. With the heavy to excessive rainfall, flooding and flash flooding will be possible. Additional thunderstorms will be possible to the east across the Ohio Valley and into the Coastal Carolinas later this afternoon and into the evening.

Region 2
A new area of low pressure and cold front will begin moving southward across the Plains allowing for thunderstorms, some possibly severe. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards.
