Severe Weather Intensifies Across Southern US
Severe weather across the South has started getting intense with more rain and thunderstorms, stretching from Texas to Florida. On Friday, the storm’s intensity and reach will escalate as it moves eastward, bringing a broad threat of severe thunderstorms and extensive flooding from the southern Plains across to the Southeast.
Parts of Texas and Oklahoma may still experience the aftermath of Thursday’s severe storms into Friday morning, with a new wave of storms expected to erupt across Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana by early afternoon.
The potential for hail, damaging wind gusts, heavy downpours, and tornadoes is high, with possibility of a significant tornado threat spanning from Texas and Oklahoma to Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Cities like Dallas, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Jackson, Mississippi, face a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms on Friday, as forecasted by the Storm Prediction Center.
Atlanta may see an additional 3 to 4 inches of rain from Friday night into the early hours, heightening the risk of flash flooding due to the already saturated ground. By Saturday, the expansive storm will target much of the East with another round of severe thunderstorms and flooding.
In the North, freezing rains across the Great Lakes, extending to the Northeast by Saturday evening. This precipitation may shift to a mix of rain, ice, and snow in the higher terrains of the interior Northeast later that day.
