Hail, flash flooding, high winds and even some isolated tornadoes are possible across the South on Thursday and Friday as severe thunderstorms rumble across the region, AccuWeather forecasters say.

The severe weather risk will shift farther to the west on Thursday after potent storms swept through areas from Louisiana to Florida and the Carolinas earlier this week. That includes the Birmingham, Alabama, area which was inundated by a slow-moving storm that produced widespread flash flooding in the city on Wednesday. Forecasters say that the Southeast may again have to deal with volatile weather again on Friday.
