ATLANTA — Another outbreak of severe storms will invade several Southern states, bringing the potential for strong tornadoes that stay on the ground for miles, forecasters warn.

The greatest threat Thursday into Thursday evening will be focused on parts of Mississippi, Alabama and west Tennessee, the national Storm Prediction Center said. East Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana will also be at risk. Storms are also possible in Georgia and Kentucky.
