STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK… RZW Exec partners, good Thursday afternoon to each of you. We have had somewhat of a lull in severe weather activity in the last two weeks. That changes next week when we could have another round of strong to severe storms. Isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding will all be possible on Wednesday, March 4 as a cold front approaches from the northwest. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has added much of Mississippi, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, and eastern Texas into their Level 2 (out of 5) risk zone valid for Tuesday. I expect a continuation of this risk into Wednesday. We’ll get a new convective outlook valid for this timeframe tomorrow (Friday) morning.
It is still quite early in the process, meaning a lot can and will change between now and the middle part of next week but the big takeaway is that we probably will have active weather rumbling through. Water levels of creeks and rivers over west Alabama remain elevated due to all of the recent heavy rain that we’ve had. Flash flooding could quickly become an issue depending on where the rain axis sets up next week.
My next RZW Exec update will be posted by Sunday evening, at the latest. Until then, be sure to let me know if you have any specific questions. Have a great evening!
