Severe Weather Outbreak with Widespread Damaging Winds, Tornadoes Continues in East Monday

Severe weather is ongoing in parts of the South, Midwest and East through Monday with a threat of widespread damaging winds and tornadoes all possible. This severe outbreak is happening on the warm side of a winter storm, named Iona by The Weather Channel. It has dumped several feet of snow in the Midwest and causing severe weather in the South.

Many reports of severe weather occurred on Sunday, mainly from wind and snow. One tornado was reported in Arkansas, and that number could go up as meteorologists surveyed the damage.

Monday

As the cold front from the intense Great Lakes low surges east, thunderstorms with damaging winds will be widespread Monday across much of the East, from northern Florida to the Northeast. This includes 60 million people across the East under the threat of severe weather.

For now, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has highlighted the area with the highest chance of severe weather from parts of the mid-Atlantic states to the Carolinas.

Even a few tornadoes are possible Monday, either embedded in the squall line, or in any discrete rotating thunderstorms that could flare up ahead of the line. Again, some could even be EF2 or greater. We could also see hail greater than 2 inches in diameter. Power outages and tree damage could be widespread in the East Monday and Monday night.

We recognize the severe impact that current conditions are having on our customers, and we are committed to restoring service levels as quickly as possible. As a result of these weather issues, the ALG Client Service Team will send daily updates as we monitor the progress and track job level.
