Southeast Braces for Two Rounds of Severe Storms: Thunderstorms at 8 AM and Potential Tornadoes by 10 PM on Thursday

COLUMBUS, Ga. and ATLANTA, Ga. - The southeast is bracing for several rounds of strong to severe storms over the next 36 hours, according to multiple sources including WRBL and 11Alive.

The first round of thunderstorms is expected as early as 8 AM and as late as 10 AM on Thursday, May 9. This round may bring strong gusty winds and heavy rainfall but is not expected to be as potent as the second round later in the day.

The second round of storms will build across Mississippi and west Alabama throughout Thursday evening and arrive across east Alabama by 10 PM central. This system is predicted to have a higher chance of damaging straight line winds up to 60-70 mph within the stronger storms, as well as isolated tornadoes.

Both WRBL and 11Alive report that heavy rainfall from these storms may lead to flash flooding. Mother's Day Weekend is currently trending sunny and less humid with highs in the low 80s.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire News 3 viewing area under an Enhanced risk (level 3 out of 5) for severe storms on Thursday. The Atlanta metro area is also under a Level 3 threat along and south of I-20 on Thursday.
