Discussion

Deep upper-level low pressure will intensify today as it slowly grinds its way across the southern US. The combination of this strong wave of energy in the upper atmosphere and an influx of very moist low-level air will result in a severe weather threat today in Mississippi, Alabama and perhaps Tennessee. In addition to the severe weather threat which includes the potential for hail and tornadoes, heavy rainfall is likely here and flash flooding could be the result as grounds are well saturated. The heavy rainfall and severe weather threat will reach the eastern seaboard on Friday with the possibility of strong-to-severe thunderstorms from the Mid-Atlantic region to Florida.
