13th Day of Severe Storms Threatens Millions in Southeast

Spring breakers and travelers heading to Florida this week must keep an eye on the radar as a slow-moving line of thunderstorms and scattered showers leading an incoming cold front push eastward. Forecasters warn that weather conditions in the Sunshine State appear unsettled at the start of the week.

At least 20 people were killed across several states during the relentless system that brought tornadoes and record-breaking flash flooding to the Midwest and South. Monday marks the 13th straight day of severe weather as southeastern states now brace for powerful thunderstorms. According to the NOAA, nearly 7.5 million people from Florida to the Carolinas face a level 2 of 5 severe thunderstorm threat.
