A flash flood warning remains in effect for Clay, Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Perry and Pike counties until at least 1 p.m. The NWS said storms producing heavy rain have left the area, but excessive runoff from previous rainfall will continue to cause flash flooding of small streams and creeks in low-lying areas.

Strong tornadoes are possible across the South as storms pass through the Gulf Coast region. Some locations could see half a foot of rain, worsening flooding.
