effect for most of the gulf coast right now. we have the threat of severe storms with large hail and damaging winds, especially across central and southern mississippi into most of louisiana and parts of southeast texas too. so it's all because of this stalled front and waves of low pressure will ride along this front, reinforcing the heavier pockets of rain. this will continue to move to the east coast as we go into tomorrow, pushing the threat of severe storms into the southeast. we'll be unsettled across the mid-atlantic and the northeast as well. tomorrow our best chance, winds in excess of 60 miles per hour, isolated tornadoes across the carolinas, extending back into parts of georgia and arkansas. >> we'll get your national forecast in just a moment. to a stunning rescue mission. an american woman being held hostage for nearly a month freed by french commandos in a daring
