Tornadoes, 'damaging' winds likely to hit South

By Ian Johnston, Staff Writer, NBC News

Isolated tornadoes and ?widespread damaging winds? could hit many parts of the South, The National Weather Service warned Tuesday.

The National Weather Service said there was the potential for a ?significant, severe weather event? from Louisiana and Arkansas to Mississippi and southwest Tennessee.?

Weather.com meteorologist Kevin Roth said that ?severe thunderstorms are expected to develop in central Oklahoma ? during the morning and form into a squall line and march toward the middle and lower Mississippi Valley.?

?Tuesday night the squall line is expected to stretch from the mid-Ohio Valley to the central Gulf Coast,? he added.

Roth said that on Wednesday the threat area was expected to include the upper Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

?Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat but isolated tornadoes and hail are also possible,? he said.

Meanwhile, the same storm was bringing heavy rain to the Midwest and Great Lakes, Roth added.

?Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is possible from Missouri to Michigan and could cause some flooding,? he said, noting flood watches had been posted from eastern Illinois to southern Michigan.
