A new storm system is forecast to bring heavy rain, snow and severe thunderstorms to parts of the Midwest, South, and Mid-Atlantic on Thursday and Friday.
There is a risk of flooding because it comes so soon after another storm which has left the ground wet and streams running high.
The storm will move east, bringing severe weather from the upper Texas coast to Louisiana, southern Mississippi and the Alabama and Florida panhandles on Thursday night.

Forecasters are warning of 'strong damaging wind gusts' of up to 80mph and 'isolated tornadoes' combined with heavy downpours which will slow motorists.
'This storm is likely to pull cold air down from aloft as it moves by,' said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno.
'If this action is strong enough and occurs fast enough, rain may change over to wet snow on the tail end of the storm on its western and northern flank,' he added.
Mr Rayno said the US may see 'wet snow at the tail end as far to the east as central and southern Arkansas, northern Louisiana and part of northern Mississippi by Saturday morning.'

In addition to the missing trucker, the storm is blamed for at least three deaths in North Carolina and one in Tennessee.
The snow blanketed much of North Carolina with snow, and some areas saw accumulations of more than two feet - as much snow in a day as those areas usually get in a year.
North Carolina's Highway Patrol had responded to 2,300 crashes as of Tuesday.
Governor Cooper also warned runoff from snowmelt could combine with an expected rainstorm this week to increase the flooding threat along some rivers.

The storm ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
