At least 10 people have died across five southern US states as a series of storms battered them with damaging winds, golf-ball-sized hail and tornadoes.

More than million across US left without power as storm batters the nation's south; at least 10 reported dead

California weather forecasters have warned that some 'brutal' weather may be bearing down on the state. They've indicated a high possibility of torrential rain and flooding which may turn deadly this time.&nbsp;This comes after the western region of the US witnessed a series of storms that lashed the coasts, resulting in near-record rain in some areas.&nbsp;

The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that a huge system is all set to roll in from the Pacific Ocean over Wednesday and Thursday that most experts have seen in a while causing severe impacts like flooding, roads washing out, collapsing trees, power outages and whatnot, AFP reported.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously," it said.&nbsp;

Some parts of northern California already witnessed a brutal storm on New Year's Eve, that caused power outages and roadways to flood. According to officials, at least one individual died after getting trapped in a submerged car.&nbsp;

San Francisco recorded the second wettest day on December 31 after recording almost 5.5 inches of rain.&nbsp;

The NWS warned that the light rain is expected to turn heavy. In a tweet, NWS said, "A strong storm system &amp; atmospheric river will bring widespread moderate to heavy rainfall &amp; strong winds to the region from Wed-Thurs. This will increase the threat for widespread flooding and wind damage across the Bay Area &amp; Central Coast."

The weather agency warned people living in the area to "go bag" ready so that they can evacuate quickly in case of emergency.&nbsp;
