DENVER – Multiple rounds of storms are forecast to bring high winds, large hail and flash flooding to a large part of the U.S. from the Rockies to the Carolinas on Sunday.
On Sunday, a large portion of the country is susceptible to strong to severe storms that can produce damaging wind gusts, hail and flooding.
"We have what we call a mesoscale convective system, that is continuing to traverse the Plains," FOX Weather Meteorologist Kendall Smith said. "It is still impacting states like Kansas, Missouri, now pushing into places in Tennessee."
Storms will begin firing off in the morning for southeast Kansas and into Missouri, with thunderstorm activity moving into New Mexico and Texas by the afternoon. Isolated damaging wind gusts and hail are possible for the afternoon and evening hours in Arkansas, Tennessee, northern Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolinas.
Colorado, eastern Wyoming and southeast Montana are forecast to see scattered thunderstorms from Sunday afternoon into the evening.
