Waterlogged Northeast faces another flood threat
Flood Watches are up for a large swath of the Northeast as storms are expected to dump heavy rain on a region already hard hit by floods in recent weeks. All that flooding has washed debris into rivers and streams, which has made its way to the Long Island Sound, where officials are warning of a large debris field that poses hazards to boaters and swimmers alike.
Severe weather likely in South
Storms raked across the South on Thursday, and the region is set to see more of that on Friday. Damaging wind is the primary threat in an area that stretches from Arkansas to the Georgia coast.
