Damaging storms, twisters possible overnight in Southeast
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Forecasters say there's another threat of severe weather including tornadoes across the southeastern United States.
The Storm Prediction Center says a system moving out of eastern Arkansas late Monday will spread across the region during the overnight hours into Tuesday.
The weather service says powerful tornadoes, damaging winds and heavy rains are possible overnight from northeastern Louisiana through northern Tennessee. That includes much of northern Mississippi and northwestern Alabama.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Memphis and Nashville in Tennessee and Huntsville in Alabama could see severe weather.
There's a slight risk of severe weather over a wider area that includes Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; and Birmingham. Storms could reach from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes.
The threat follows severe storms that were blamed for two deaths in the Gulf Coast area last week.
