Southeast Swamped With Storms, Flash Flooding

A frontal system will continue to produce severe thunderstorms throughout the day today. 

An extension of the storm system's southern flank is where a cold front is dividing warm, humid air from much cooler, drier air from the central Florida Panhandle to near or east of the Interstate 20 and 95 corridors in Georgia and the Carolinas. This is where the most impactful thunderstorms would rumble across throughout late afternoon and evening.

This storm system will continue on a slow eastward track, bringing severe storms capable of producing high winds, a few tornadoes, heavy rain, and possibly large hail. The Storm Prediction Center currently has a Slight Risk over the Florida Panhandle, southeastern Georgia, and parts of the Carolinas. The line of storms will continue to stay on the strong to severe side until finally moving off the coast and weakening in Florida this evening. 

In addition to all of the severe weather, the heavy rain and storms could produce areas of flash flooding as they progress eastward. Localized rain amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible.

Remember, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!” if you approach a flooded roadway and stay tuned to the WeatherBug app, website, and social media over the coming days for updates on this event.
