At least 80 million people — from the Midwest to the South to the East — are in the path of turbulent weather, including violent storms, large hail, and potent tornadoes Sunday into Monday, forecasters said.
“Numerous severe thunderstorms are expected today and tonight across a broad portion of the Southeast and lower/mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes,” NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center said Sunday. Destructive winds were “likely,” the center added. “Several tornadoes will also occur with supercells. A few of these tornadoes could be strong.”
Accuweather meteorologists warned that more than a dozen tornadoes were possible Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, targeting cities such as Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee; Paducah, Kentucky; Evansville and Bloomington, Indiana.
