An area of low pressure developed across Texas on Saturday, bringing a severe weather threat to the south-eastern US on Sunday and Monday. The depression is expected to develop into a nor’easter over the coming days. The storm is likely to dominate weather conditions across the eastern US and south-eastern Canada through the coming week.
After its initial development, the system moved slowly eastwards across the US Gulf Coast states on Monday. The US Storm Prediction Center forecast an enhanced risk (level three of five on its hazard scale) of severe thunderstorms, with a threat of hail, damaging straight-line winds and tornadoes across an area from eastern Texas to South Carolina.
