Nearly 40 million Americans faced the threat of severe thunderstorms, hail and possible tornadoes on Monday, forecasters warned. One person was killed when a strong storm damaged a house in Little River County, Arkansas, early Monday, according to the Little River Sheriff's Office. NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported downed power lines in North Texas following heavy rain and hail Monday morning. A large portion of the northeast of the state was under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service. Thunderstorms were expected to progress from East Texas through the Mississippi Valley and into the Tennessee Valley on Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Parts of eight states were also under flash flood watches.
Cities from Dallas to Chicago could experience wind gusts of at least 58 mph and see hail at least one inch in diameter, according to Weather.com. Houston, Little Rock, New Orleans, Jackson, Memphis, St. Louis, Louisville and Indianapolis could all see 'rain-wrapped tornadoes' ahead of the thunderstorms, Weather.com warned. The storms will move southeast on Tuesday. Although the risk of tornadoes is lower in cities from Tallahassee to Cincinnati, rains and winds could still cause heavy damage on Tuesday, according to Weather.com.
