Severe Weather In South Could Produce Damage - The Weather Channel

• Severe weather will impact a broad area of the South this week.
• Damaging winds, large hail and some tornadoes are possible.
• It's a somewhat unusual weather pattern for the Deep South in June.

R​ounds of severe thunderstorms and localized flash flooding will hit the South this week as multiple disturbances travel through a somewhat unusually strong jet stream for June that's ripping across the region.

This s​tormy pattern is already underway. Severe weather over the weekend and into Monday kicked off this stormy stretch in the South.

H​ailstones as big as softballs pelted the northern Dallas-Fort Worth metro area Sunday evening. That was followed by a supercell that dropped hail up to the size of tennis balls and softballs in the southern metroplex on Monday evening.

Scattered thunderstorms are impacting multiple areas in the South right now. Here's a look at the latest radar along with any active watches and/or warnings.

Tuesday's severe weather focuses on the Deep South. Areas from northern Texas and southeast Oklahoma to parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, northern Florida, Georgia and southern South Carolina have the greatest chance of severe storms.

D​amaging winds and large hail are the main concerns, but an isolated tornado is possible. Flash flooding from heavy rainfall is also a threat.

The t​hreat remains in the the Deep South on Wednesday. Parts of southern Arkansas, northern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, northern Florida and southern South Carolina could see severe weather.

V​ery large, damaging hail, destructive wind gusts and tornadoes could accompany some of the storms, especially in the areas shaded red below. Flash flooding from heavy rainfall will also remain possible.

A​ somewhat unusual pattern for June is in place. The South typically sees severe weather from pop-up afternoon thunderstorms in the summer months like June. Wind damage is often the biggest threat from those summertime storms.

T​his week is different since the jet stream is the driving force behind the severe weather. That's a bit unusual because the jet stream often retreats to a more northerly position across the U.S. this time of year.

T​he end result is that severe weather in the South this week is more organized than we usually see in June. That means in addition to damaging winds the storms can also produce large, damaging hail and an isolated tornado threat.

Disturbances in the jet stream are tapping into plenty of warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico to produce severe weather this week.
