A complex weather system moving eastward will result in continued difficult to hazardous travel conditions across much of the eastern U.S. today. Severe weather will continue to be possible across portions of the Southeast with damaging winds as the primary threat; however tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Strong winds will also be possible from the Tennessee Valley into the Northeast.
