Much of the South and Eastern parts of the country are bracing for severe storms, while the West is expected to see dangerously high temperatures.

Heavy rain is forecasted to move from Kentucky to southern New York, as reported by the National Weather Service in a post on X this Friday. This rainfall is likely to cause flash flooding.

On Friday morning, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear mentioned on X that there were reports of a potential tornado in Washington County. He noted that such severe weather was unexpected.

Eastern and southeastern parts of the state are expected to see severe weather throughout the day.

“Please be alert this morning and stay safe,” the governor said.

In Henry County, Georgia, forecasters warned Friday of damaging wind gusts, hail and possible tornadoes.

On Thursday afternoon, a tornado struck the Laurel Creek subdivision in Henry County, according to WXIA, an NBC affiliate in Atlanta. Damage occurred to at least 13 buildings, and the son of Tray Chaney, an actor from “The Wire,” suffered serious injuries.

Chaney said his son was thrown “300 feet out of his room” by the tornado.

“I was sitting on my bed and I heard the wind, I felt everything,” he said in an Instagram video, panning the camera to show the remains of his flattened house.

Chaney said he had just left the hospital and was going back to see his son in the intensive care unit.

“Thank God I’m still living. I survived the tornado,” he said, crying. “I’m doing a video to let you know, cherish life, cherish life as much as you can. … I wish I could replace the pain with my son, I wish he was the one doing the video and I was the one still in ICU.”

Meanwhile, dangerously hot temperatures are expected in California and southern Nevada, the NWS said.

“Significant warming today with an elevated risk for heat illness. Cooler but more humid over the weekend as tropical moisture moves over the region, also bringing a chance for showers or thunderstorms,” the NWS stated in its forecast discussion Friday morning.

Near-normal temperatures are expected Monday and Tuesday, according to the NWS.
