LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Forecasters say tornadoes, powerful winds and flash flooding are possible Monday in an area stretching from east Texas to the Florida Panhandle.

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, says the greatest risk for bad weather is in Louisiana, Mississippi and southern Alabama, especially along the Gulf Coast on Monday afternoon and evening. A tornado watch has been issued for parts of southern Arkansas, most of Louisiana and east Texas until 2 p.m. Monday as the storm makes it way eastward.

Forecasters say those areas could see tornadoes, wind gusts of up to 75 mph and large hailstones.
