Showers, thunderstorms and possible flooding are expected to hit the South on Saturday as the Northeast waits to see if it will get pounded with another coastal storm.

The primary threats in the South are some hailstorms and damaging wind gusts with a potential for isolated short-lived tornadoes. Localized flooding is possible in areas where the thunderstorms are persistent.
