A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for parts of Alabama, with the National Weather Service (NWS) warning residents to 'expect damage' due to powerful winds. The affected areas include Gadsden, Pell City, and surrounding regions. Wind gusts of up to 70mph are expected, posing a significant risk to trees, mobile homes, and buildings. The NWS has advised residents to take necessary precautions, including securing outdoor furniture and debris. This warning comes as severe weather conditions continue to affect parts of the southern United States. Mississippi is still experiencing severe thunderstorms, despite a previous tornado warning expiring. The severe weather poses a risk to travel plans ahead of Thanksgiving, with 81.8 million individuals projected to travel at least 50 miles from their residences. Heavy snowfall is also expected in the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes region, with significant snowfall anticipated in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
