MORE BAD WEATHER COMING

Updated by Henry Margusity

Weather Decision Solutions – Weather Discussion

Weather Decision Solutions is monitoring the final phase of an active storm system impacting the Southeast today.

This system, which has already produced heavy rainfall across the Gulf Coast over the past 24 hours, is now shifting eastward. As it does, it will bring:

  • Moderate rain into Georgia and South Carolina

  • Heavier thunderstorms into northern Florida

While some localized downpours and storms may still cause brief impacts, the system is expected to move quickly offshore, taking the bulk of the rain and thunderstorm activity with it by later today.

What’s Next

After a short-lived break in the active pattern, attention turns to the middle of next week, when another significant severe weather outbreak may develop.

The primary area of concern at this time is the Tennessee Valley, where conditions could again support:

  • Strong thunderstorms

  • Damaging winds

  • Possible severe weather impacts

Bottom Line

  • Final round of rain/storms today across the Southeast

  • Moderate rain GA/SC, stronger storms in northern FL

  • System exits quickly offshore

  • Brief lull follows

  • Next severe weather outbreak possible midweek next week

Overall, this is a transition period, with one system exiting and another potentially significant one already lining up behind it.
