As residents of the South recover slowly following the destructive tornadoes that ripped through the region late last week and over the weekend, AccuWeather forecasters say the threat of severe weather will linger a little longer and potentially disrupt ongoing relief efforts.
A stalled front across the southeastern United States has been responsible for round after round of heavy rain and severe weather. More than 200 damaging wind reports and 150 hail reports came in from Friday to Sunday across the region, in addition to over 20 reported tornadoes. Cities such as Rolling Fork, Mississippi, and West Point, Georgia, were among the hardest-hit locations during the deadly severe weather outbreak.
