Potential for Isolated Severe Storms Continues Tonight, Tomorrow

The cold front that is the catalyst for the ongoing wet weather is currently stretched across East and South Texas; it will push slowly east overnight and tomorrow.

Tonight: Some drier air will work in behind the front along the Texas Gulf Coast overnight. However, there will still be widespread thunderstorms, periods of heavy rainfall, and a low-end severe weather threat across East Louisiana, South and Central Mississippi and Alabama, and the Western Florida Panhandle along and ahead of the front.

There is a “slight” risk for severe weather across coastal Mississippi and Alabama, and coastal sections of the far Western Florida Panhandle through tonight, and a “marginal” risk across Southeast Louisiana, South and Central Mississippi, South and Central Alabama, and the remainder of the Florida Panhandle.

Strong wind gusts and an isolated tornadoes continue to be the primary threats with any storms that become strong to severe.

Tomorrow: A complex of storms is going to develop ahead of the front across Southeast Louisiana and South/Central Mississippi early tomorrow morning, and push east across throughout first part of the day.

There is a “marginal” risk for severe weather across Southeast Mississippi, South and Central Alabama, and the portions of the Western Florida Panhandle tomorrow.

This complex will produce more heavy rain. A few strong to severe storms also can’t be ruled out within in it. The primary threat will be damaging winds.

Flood threat: Localized flash flooding flooding will be possible where heavier rainfall occurs.

Rain chances continue through midweek: Rain chances will continue across Southeast Louisiana, South and Central Mississippi and Alabama, and the Western Florida Panhandle through about midweek, as the front will stall tomorrow, and eventually dissipate sometime Tuesday/Wednesday.
