Pockets of severe weather will affect areas in the northeast, southeast and central United States through the Memorial Day weekend.

A large area of severe thunderstorms is forecast into Tuesday night and will overlap areas in the Ohio, Tennessee and middle Mississippi valleys that were hit by deadly and damaging storms, forecasters say.

Storms did hit the metroplex Monday night. A thunderstorm watch was issued and one storm arrived just after midnight, bringing strong winds, small hail and lightning along with a half-inch of rain. Two tornadoes have also been confirmed during the storms on Monday.

The National Weather Service and AccuWeather both warn of severe weather that could affect the Southeast region, though forecasts remain uncertain.

Severe weather leaves 28 dead, including at least 19 in storm-battered Kentucky. Storms Friday afternoon tore roofs off buildings, ripped bricks off of siding and downed trees and power lines.

Severe storms damaged homes, businesses, and power lines across Oklahoma, with the worst impacts in Pittsburg and Muskogee counties.

Tuesday is now a Severe Alert Day due to the threat of more strong to severe storms likely across Louisville and Kentucky.

Heavy downpours and hail covered swaths of Middle Tennessee as strong storms blew through on May 20, triggering severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for multiple counties.
