Severe thunderstorms are expected to hit parts of the Southeast, including Virginia and the Carolinas, with cities like Norfolk, Raleigh, and Charlotte on alert. The main threat from these storms is strong, potentially damaging wind gusts. While the Southeast faces this severe weather, most of the country is enjoying calm conditions for the Labor Day weekend. On Sunday, the storm threat moves to South Carolina and Georgia, with Charleston and Savannah at risk. Flash flooding is also a concern, particularly in the Southwest, where areas like southern Nevada and northern Arizona could experience heavy rain. National parks such as the Grand Canyon and Zion are under a flood watch due to recent monsoon storms. Although the severe weather threat diminishes by Monday, scattered thunderstorms could still occur.
