AccuWeather

Storms that have rumbled through the Southeast for multiple days are coming to an end before the next system arrives later this week.

00:00 And we are tracking some of that wet weather here and through the southern

00:04 plains coming up right now on AccuWeather Ahead.

00:08 Pretty low visibility with those intense thunderstorms, Melissa, moving through the

00:14 Carolinas earlier. Yeah, we've had a lot of rain there and even some severe

00:18 weather threats in the region. Some hail recorded in North Carolina. Yeah,

00:22 absolutely, and some of the hail is growing in size into parts of the Texas

00:25 Panhandle. In fact, there's a brand new severe thunderstorm watch that we can

00:28 show you in a moment for other areas as well. As we take a look at the radar here

00:33 and take this full, we have some ongoing showers and some thunderstorms and some

00:36 of these have been very intense with some severe weather possible into parts

00:40 of Texas and other parts of the Carolinas too. Yeah, some thunderstorms

00:44 moving off the eastern U.S. The others just working their way through the

00:48 central U.S. So you can see that rain across Iowa, Nebraska and more

00:52 thunderstorms across Texas. That's that severe weather threat Jeff was

00:55 mentioning headed into the day tomorrow. The rain increases into Dallas with

00:59 some flooding potential there and later in the day into Houston as well. That

01:02 will keep temperatures down for some, but it's gonna be delightful farther

01:05 north and west up into Denver. Even Billings 79 looks great there. I was

01:08 gonna say billions is calling my name. I'd like to be there for tomorrow. We

01:12 will start you off with that set up of what our top story is, and we're keeping

01:18 an eye on the southern U. S. As we continue to watch some of the wet

01:22 weather work through Lakeland, Florida has been getting in on some of the wet

01:26 windy weather today. Yeah, pretty active scenes here with a really

01:30 convective sky and rain dropping the visibility down. It's hard to see much

01:34 more than maybe a half mile down the road and look at the street flooding.

01:37 Yeah, street flooding a huge problem. You gotta take it easy when it comes

01:41 to that because it can so quickly pull your car one direction or another. And

01:44 let's face it, not all of us have the same kind of experience on the road as

01:47 others, especially if you've got any teenage drivers out there. You know

01:51 that these kinds of conditions can lead to extra challenges. We're gonna take

01:55 you to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The view here is starting to look a little

01:59 more stormy offshore. Jeff just to the south, I think, is where they had that

02:03 thunderstorm move through. Yeah, actually. Now, as this is kind of

02:05 evolved, one heavy storm moved south and it's split. So an element, one part

02:10 of that storm kind of fractured and is moving now through parts of Horry

02:13 County. Severe thunderstorm warning is in progress for Myrtle Beach and

02:17 Carolina Forest. Other areas here from Socastie to the new Earth. So look out

02:22 for this. It's gonna be a pretty active time. You can see some of the

02:25 darkening of the sky offshore. The worst of this is actually from behind

02:28 the cameras perspective there over inland portions of Horry County, just

02:33 northwest of Myrtle Beach. So that's a nasty storm. That is the only severe

02:36 thunderstorm warning in progress right now in the southeastern U. S. Some of

02:40 the recent severe storms have been weakening into Jacksonville, North

02:44 Carolina and into areas around Havelock as well into Florida. This has been a

02:48 more manageable event this afternoon and evening. Some downpours are still

02:51 clipping on through areas around Cape, uh, areas around, say, uh, the area

02:57 around Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
