A Few Severe Storms Possible in the South (FORECAST)

December 16,2015
Thunderstorms will rumble through the Southeast Wednesday night and Thursday ahead of a cold front associated with former Winter Storm Echo. Most of the storms are expected to be fairly unremarkable, but a few could get a bit feisty and severe weather isn't totally impossible.
Below are the forecast details on the severe weather threat.
Severe Weather Forecast

Thunderstorm Forecast
This Week
  • Through Wednesday Night: Thunderstorms are expected over Alabama and parts of neighboring states due to a wave of low pressure developing along the eastward-advancing cold front. Locally damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two cannot be ruled out with a few of the storms. Minor flooding may occur in parts of north Georgia due to heavy rainfall.
  • Thursday: The chance for thunderstorms will push east on Thursday ahead of the cold front. A severe thunderstorm is not completely out of the question in eastern North Carolina, eastern South Carolina, southeastern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
  • Friday: The cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Florida Peninsula. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.
This Weekend
  • The atmosphere is expected to be stable across the entire Lower 48, preventing thunderstorm development.
