Powerful spring storms are expected to continue in the lower Ohio Valley and mid-South, with officials warning of up to 15 inches of heavy rainfall and life-threatening flash flooding.
Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas are among the states at high risk for excessive rainfall due to the slow-moving, “once in a generation” storm system.
Large hail, tornadoes, and damaging winds also pose a threat this weekend, heightening the risk of weather-related damage—especially downed trees from heavily saturated soil.
The storm system has already spawned tornadoes in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri, caused floods, killed at least eight, injured dozens, and left over 116,000 customers without power nationwide.
