The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 severe weather warning affecting 11 states across the Mid-Atlantic, Carolinas, and South as a significant mesoscale convective system is poised to bring damaging wind gusts of 90mph, sizable hail, and hazardous flash flooding on Wednesday. This system is set to impact roughly 75 million people from North Carolina and Virginia through the Mid-Atlantic region. NOAA cautions that this weather outbreak follows a historic heat dome that has already resulted in at least 25 fatalities, leaving the infrastructure notably weakened and more susceptible to extensive storm-related destruction.
