MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Here it comes again. Another afternoon, more violent weather. Warnings posted in Arkansas and Tennessee. There's a chance of more flooding in parts of the South. It's becoming familiar, but familiarity should not breed any sort of feelings that this is not very serious stuff. Right, Orelon?
ORELON SIDNEY, CNN METEOROLOGIST: That is very true.
It's becoming all too familiar, especially in some parts of the Midwest. I've got so many tornado warnings, so many severe thunderstorm warnings and watches that if I did all of them, it would take me 15 minutes. So I'm going to give you the most urgent ones.
Gloucester County, Virginia, you're under a tornado warning until 3:50. A tornado was indicated northwest of Glens moving southeast at 45.
Carroll County, Tennessee, you continue under a tornado warning until 2:45 and Morgan and Washington counties in Colorado, until 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time.
Wanted to show you the very latest watchboxes. There are no less than six in effect. I'm going to point them out one at a time.
Watchbox number one , this in effect until 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time for parts of Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska.
These next two are very important because the storm prediction center has called these particularly dangerous situations. This means violent tornadoes are possible. Damage from F3 to F5. This is extremely dangerous. The number two watchbox there in effect until 9:00 p.m. Central.
The number three watchbox also in effect until 9:00 p.m. Central.
Head on out into the Plains now. We have a severe thunderstorm watch that affects St. Louis. Thunderstorms rolling through there now in effect until 4:00 p.m. Central Time.
Also, 4:00 p.m. Central time, watchbox number five. That's a tornado watch and that is in effect for the Memphis area and continuing into parts of Tennessee.
I do have one more to pass along to you. Don't want you left out in the eastern United States. We have another watchbox that is in effect until 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, severe thunderstorms possible stretching from south of Pittsburgh all the way through Washington, D.C. -- Miles.
O'BRIEN: Orelon Sidney, thanks. Don't go far. We'll check in with you in just a little bit.
