Extreme Weather for Jan 23



Good evening,

Heavy downpours and the threat for flooding will close off the work week for much of the Southeast as a disturbance responsible for heavy snow from Colorado into the Texas Panhandle continues to track east. 

The heaviest of the rain is expected to be focused from central Texas into portions of the Deep South Thursday evening with up to 3 inches of rain in some locations. Gusty thunderstorms will most likely accompany the blinding downpours that are forecast to move into Georgia and the Florida Panhandle on Friday. Those living and driving through these southeastern states are asked to exercise caution when on the road to minimize accidents and fatalities. 

By Friday evening, this system will have moved into areas of the Mid-Atlantic producing snow along with a wintry mix that will extend from Tennessee into the mountains of North Carolina with enough snow to cause slippery roads throughout Tennessee and Kentucky. This system will continue to move northeastward on Saturday with most of the lingering shower activity across the Florida Peninsula. Dry weather will settle over the Southeast along with a cold front that will bring a dip in temperatures extending down to South Florida.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
