Southern states brace for severe weather; tornado warnings issued
By Kathleen Joyce | Fox News
As several Midwestern states are digging out from a spring snowstorm, the South is bracing for weekend thunderstorms that could bring tornadoes.
The National Weather Service said strong winds and hail were expected in the South. Tornadoes are also possible Saturday in parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and eastern Texas, and then Sunday in Georgia, according to the forecasts.
"Even a weak tornado that hits the right location can still be pretty devastating," Adam Baker, a weather service forecaster, said.
The National Weather Service issued a severe weather statement Saturday for the west-central Nacogdoches and southeastern Cherokee counties in Texas. A tornado warning was issued in the counties, saying residents could see quarter-size hail as well.
