Flash Floods Possible as Rain and Thunderstorms Hit Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama

Clouds are on their way into the Northeast and New England, bringing much-needed rain. While 2-4″ of rain will not result in a complete washout, a half-inch to an inch of rain may fall in certain areas.

This will assist in reducing the risk of fire in the region as we transition into a more active trend with a few more possibilities of rain over the following 7-10 days.

We’re also seeing heavy showers and thunderstorms steadily move throughout sections of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Our slow-moving front is weakening, but Gulf moisture and tropical energy are sustaining it for a rainy and thunderous day across eastern Louisiana, lower Mississippi, and southwest Alabama.

Once again, our attention turns to Florida, where the return flow from high pressure, along with some weak tropical activity, has resulted in scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms throughout the east coast and interior sections of north Florida. We expect that activity to increase throughout the night and into tomorrow.

Expect locally strong winds, tiny hail, frequent lightning, heavy rain, and the possibility of a few waterspouts. We’ll also see rough surf, rip currents, and beach erosion on some of Florida’s east coast beaches.

Clouds are increasing today, with a risk of mild to moderate rain this evening and tonight. Up to 1″ of rain may fall, but most areas should see 1/4 – 1/2″ of liquid gold. Today’s highs will be in the 60s, at best.

Clods stick around tomorrow, along with some sunlight. We can expect a few scattered showers, with highs in the upper 60s. We’ll cool off on Tuesday with sunshine and temperatures in the mid-50s.

On Wednesday, we struggled to climb above 50 degrees for a cold and bright day. Clouds return late Thursday, with the possibility of some showers.
