The Southeastern United States is bracing for continued heavy rainfall and the threat of flash flooding, with the unsettled weather pattern expected to persist through Monday. A slow-moving front has settled over the region, exacerbating the risk.
The active weather began earlier in the week with thunderstorms, which intensified into a severe weather threat on Wednesday before transitioning to a primary flood concern by Thursday. This flood threat is now forecast to continue through the weekend and into the start of the new week.
Daily rounds of showers and storms are anticipated to increase, maintaining a pattern of disruption. While isolated severe storms are possible on Saturday, the primary concern remains the potential for damaging winds. The flash flood threat on Saturday is expected to span several states, from Alabama through Virginia, with these areas remaining under threat through at least Monday.
By Sunday, the forecast includes parts of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and the southwestern tip of Georgia. The FOX Forecast Center predicts that by Monday, most of the Southeast will have received between one and three inches of rain. While no single day is expected to be significantly wetter than others, the persistent precipitation could impact weekend outdoor activities for millions.
