Severe Weather Potential in the Southeastern US

Severe Weather Potential in the Southeastern US

26 Jan 2021, 4:11 pm

After Monday night’s severe storms produced a deadly and destructive tornado to Alabama we are still monitoring the frontal boundary that produced these storms and continue to bring heavy rain, a wind threat, and a tornado threat to the southeastern United States through tonight and into Wednesday.

Severe Outlook

Tuesday

The Florida panhandle, southern Georgia, and southern South Carolina still have the potential to see some strong to severe thunderstorms along a narrow corridor along the frontal boundary. Areas highlighted in green are under a marginal risk (level 1, on a scale of 1 to 5) for severe storms through Tuesday night.

This includes a risk for an isolated tornado as well as some strong to damaging wind gusts.

Accompanied by the wind and tornado threat a lot of these areas have been seeing rain for the majority of the day so some minor flooding is possible too.

Wednesday

As we track this system into Wednesday, there is an additional risk for thunderstorms into portions of southern Georgia. This is a marginal risk (level 1, on a scale of 1 to 5) for severe storms in the warm sector of our frontal boundary. We may see some isolated strong gusty winds and the possibility of an isolated tornado or two.

Forecast

Heading into tonight, a warm front lifts north into Alabama and Georgia. This will brings storms to the same areas that saw storms last night.

Heading into Wednesday the low pressure center is making it’s way inland and heavy rain is expected from Atlanta through South and North Carolina.

Forecast Accumulation

Rainfall totals have already been impressive along the Gulf Coast of Florida, some already topping off at 3-4″ and an additional 1-2″ is still possible across the southeast.

For the latest updates on the severe weather potential be sure to tune into WeatherNation.
