Severe Storm Threat in East Coast

Strong-to-severe thunderstorms are striking the Atlantic Seaboard today. Communities from Philadelphia on south to Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., will be under the gun for the potential of damaging winds, hail and even an isolated tornado.
This system has a history of severe weather, with numerous hail and damaging wind reports on Sunday and Sunday night in the Ohio Valley. Similar incidents are now being reported in the Carolinas and eastern Virginia.
While not expected to be a major producer of tornadoes, even one weak tornado can pose destructive and deadly consequences. Take cover immediately if any warnings are issued for your area and stay away from windows.
Torrential downpours can reduce visibility as well as cause flash flooding problems, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Southern Georgia and northern Florida will especially be prone to flooding due to the recent heavy rainfall in the region. Flooding problems are a concern in northern New England as well due to the rain and melting snow.
In the wake of the severe weather today, a blast of cold air will deliver a feel of February for much of the South and the East.
It's still snowing here in the Detroit area at 2:00 pm
