U.S. forecasters are warning of the risk of more severe storms across the central part of the country Tuesday, including the possibility of tornadoes in areas that saw several spawn there Monday night.
The National Weather Service reported a string of tornadoes across eastern Indiana and western Ohio overnight, with storms around Dayton, Ohio damaging many homes and leaving roads impassable.
Authorities were still assessing the aftermath of those storms Tuesday, but so far no deaths have been reported.
The central U.S. has been dealing with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes since last week with storms blamed for deaths in several states, including Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa and Indiana.
As the stormy weather plagued the central U.S., several cities in the South have seen record-shattering high temperatures.
Over the weekend, Augusta, Georgia, tied a 141-year-old record high, as the temperature soared to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Savannah, Georgia, tied the record for the earliest occurrence of triple-digit heat in the city, and Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina, reached 100 for the first time ever in May.
Meteorologists predict the scorching trend will continue, and high temperature records will be set in cities from Louisiana to Virginia.
