Large hail, strong winds and the possibility of a tornado will impact parts of the South, while Wisconsin and parts of Michigan will deal with cold temps and snow.

Severe storms are expected to deliver the potential for tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail to millions of people across parts of the Southeast and Mississippi Valley beginning this afternoon.

More than 40 million people from southeastern Texas eastward to Georgia, and northward to central Indiana and Illinois are under a threat of severe weather.  The largest potential for the most severe weather impacts those in parts of central Mississippi as well as parts of east-central Louisiana. 

The Level 4, or moderate threat, is rare for this time of year for that region, which usually sees tornadoes during the spring and summer months.

Hail, strong wind gusts and tornadoes are also possible in the enhanced risk area, which covers 3 million people across much of Mississippi and parts of western Alabama, southwestern Tennessee, eastern Arkansas, northern Louisiana, and a small part of eastern Texas.

The widespread rainfall is expected to range between 1 and 2 inches, with some local areas at risk of seeing up to 4 inches. That also increases the risk of flooding.

The same storm system is brining heavy snowfall to 13 states across the West and Upper Midwest.  Millions of people are under winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings.
