The rain and severe thunderstorms across the southeastern United States over the weekend will be swept away by the start of the new week, paving the way for cool, dry conditions.

00:00 Well, we are covering a big storm that is moving in across the country and it's a very
00:11 complex storm. A lot of things happening with it. We have snow to the north and we have
00:16 storms to the south. And while some of those storms could even turn severe there across
00:21 parts of the southeast. And here's your setup here Saturday and a Saturday night. Again,
00:26 we're covering a lot of real estate in terms of our impacts. We're talking that rain and
00:29 thunderstorm potential there from the Great Lakes region down through the center of the
00:34 country all the way down towards that Gulf Coast. And behind it, we're talking chillier
00:39 winds and very windy conditions just in general here across a lot of the south central southeast.
00:44 We are going to continue to track this wave of energy as it continues to dive here Saturday
00:49 into Sunday. And that's going to bring us that potential for severe weather. Now, here's
00:53 your Saturday problems here Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Lower Mississippi Valley
00:58 to the lower Ohio Valley is going to be the area that we're most concerned about. Wind
01:03 and hail going to be our top concerns as well. We have a medium risk on the board now flooding
01:08 and tornadoes falling in the low range, but still not impossible. So while they are low
01:13 on the totem pole, we can't rule them out. So if we look at our severe outlook here as
01:18 we head into Saturday afternoon into Saturday night again, we're covering a lot of area.
01:23 And well, if you look at our orange region, these areas shaded in orange, well, these
01:27 are some big cities where we could see moderate severe weather, meaning numerous severe storms
01:33 from Nashville and Memphis down through Jackson and even the areas where we could see some
01:37 severe weather, meaning isolated in nature. You still have to be on the lookout here.
01:41 Have that AccuWeather app handy and ready to go from Louisville down to Mobile, Lafayette
01:46 and even eastern Texas. Hail, downpours and isolated tornadoes and localized damaging
01:50 wind gusts. We could see winds as high as 75 miles per hour with your AccuWeather local
01:54 storm X. Again, we're going to play this out again, seeing mostly isolated cells there
01:59 as we head throughout the afternoon. But then as we head into the evening, that's when that
02:02 line is going to start to gel together and it's going to dive in across a lot of the
02:06 Gulf Coast into the southeast. And as we head into the day tomorrow, we still have severe
02:11 weather on mind. And so that's what we're going to have to keep a close eye out on,
02:16 especially there along the eastern seaboard, extending from the Delmarva down to the southeast.
02:21 Rainfall and localized damaging wind gusts are going to be our top concerns.
