It’s been a chilly and dry few days, but that’s about to change! A coastal low is moving into the northern Gulf tonight, bringing widespread showers and a few isolated thunderstorms. While we don’t anticipate any severe weather, a couple of strong storms could develop.
Rainfall amounts are expected to be high, with most areas likely seeing between 1 and 4 inches, and isolated spots could receive 5 inches or more. Due to this forecast, we're under a marginal risk (1/5) for flash flooding.
Some models even suggest localized areas could see up to 11 inches of rain! If a flood watch is issued, please stay alert, as localized flooding, ponding, and minor street flooding are likely.
The heaviest rain will start after midnight and continue throughout Thursday, with on-and-off showers. Expect a brief pause in the rain until Friday afternoon, when it will start up again.
By Saturday, the showers will begin to taper off as a front moves in, and a high-pressure system will return on Sunday, bringing back dry conditions. Temperatures will gradually warm up—YAY!
