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.
