    Flood watches in effect: The Southeast’s stalling fronts

Flood watches in effect
The Southeast’s stalling fronts, storms

A stationary front north of Florida and a low pressure system will stream moisture over the Southeast through the weekend.

The next five days will be very busy across parts of the Southeast as the rain will be a constant nuisance and danger.

There will be a stalled front lingering over southern Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. There will not be much movement as far as the fronts, but these stationary fronts will serve as a wall to channel all the moisture over areas southeast of Atlanta through Florida.

The heaviest rains will fall Saturday and Sunday as a low-pressure will try to get things moving but bring abundant moisture from the Gulf of Mexico onto Florida, southern Georgia, and South Carolina.

Plenty of showers have started to affect north Florida on Thursday and this same pattern is expected to persist on Friday, with heavy storms arriving in Florida’s Panhandle too.

For Florida and Georgia

A low-pressure system will start to build just west of the Peninsula late Thursday. The counterclockwise flow will swing moisture over the Sunshine State producing strong thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening hours.

A couple of inches of rain could be possible in isolated locations through Friday afternoon. But more rain will be possible through Saturday evening across Florida’s Big Bend, north Florida, and southeastern Georgia.

Rainfall between 2 to 4 inches is likely with some areas receiving higher amounts. Flood watches have been posted and flood warnings will likely be issued throughout the weekend as the moisture flows over.

The extensive rain will even cover most of the Florida Peninsula. Central and South Florida will likely receive around 2 inches generally, while some isolated areas could get more than 3 inches.

Make sure to stay away from flooded roads. Remember, turn around, and don’t drown. If you can, and if safe to do so, please clear debris from gutters and any drainage near your home.
