The southern regions will finally experience a well-deserved period of dry weather in the next few days. However, there is a potential for strong to severe storms in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana on Thursday.
An area of low pressure is expected to move eastward into the southern regions this week, potentially resulting in severe thunderstorms. The combination of shear and moisture will contribute to the development of these powerful storms, with cities such as Dallas, Waco, and Texarkana at risk. It is important to prepare your plan ahead of time if you find yourself in the path of severe weather, as this system is still a few days away.
The frontal boundaries of this low-pressure system will have the necessary energy to generate powerful storms, as previously stated.
Heavy rainfall will accompany the storms, with ample moisture provided. Localized areas may experience rainfall totals up to 5 inches, posing a risk of flooding. It is important to be cautious of low-lying areas, streams, creeks, and rivers, as they can flood rapidly. Additionally, there may be ponding on the roads. When encountering flooded roadways, it is crucial to turn around as the depth of the water and its contents are unknown.
