Regions of the Midwest and Southeast recently slammed by a deadly barrage of powerful storms and flooding are continuing recovery efforts in the wake of the disaster, but now as residents try to sift through the rubble, they’re facing a renewed risk of severe weather on Thursday.
At least 25 people in seven states were killed due to the extreme weather, including deaths from tornadoes in Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, and fatalities from flooding in Kentucky.

The FOX Forecast Center said clusters of thunderstorms are expected to break out across areas of the mid- and Deep South and Tennessee Valley on Thursday, which are areas that were all heavily impacted by the extreme weather.
However, while there is a renewed risk of powerful storms, the threat isn’t as high as it was ahead of the severe weather outbreak.
