WEATHER: Seven states from Texas to South Carolina are under Heat Advisory Wednesday, with the heat index expected to reach near 110 degrees.
Severe storms moved through the Plains and the Southeast Tuesday, with seven tornadoes touching down in Colorado and Minnesota. Winds gusted to 80 mph in Nebraska and 82 mph in Kansas, where semi-trucks were flipped over on I-70, blocking traffic on the interstate.
In the Carolinas and Tennessee, severe storms produced gusty winds near 60 mph, leading to damage near Nashville. Houston reached 103 degrees Tuesday, marking the warmest temperature in the city since 2015. Some of the heat will break in the mid-South as the storms move in Wednesday afternoon, but a lot of the Gulf Coast from Houston to Tallahassee and even into Atlanta will continue to be dangerously hot and humid.
