More Than A Hundred Tornadoes Could Hit The Midwest And South This Week

Severe weather and storms, including more than a hundred tornadoes, could hit the Midwest this week due to a big spinning upper-low traveling across the U.S. currently, according to the Weather Channel.

As the above image shows, the red-shaded areas, from Virginia all the way down the East Coast to mid-Florida remain at risk. Some could pose "long and violent" threats, as a meteorologist from the channel explained.

Tornadoes have already struck some parts of the country. Friday evening Greenville, N.C. saw serious a tornado touch down, killing an 11-month old baby - the first confirmed tornado death of 2014, CBS News in Oklahoma City reports. The 150 mph winds damaged around 200 homes.

Officials have also issued a current tornado watch for Little Rock and other areas of Arkansas. Photos posted to Twitter show the damage already done in Mayflower.

The Weather Channel advises everyone to heed their local warnings and seek shelter when necessary this week.

We'll update this post as we have more information.
