More Rain Heading For Soaked Southern States; Yet Another Round Possible As Early As This Weeked
For residents across the southern United States dealing with an abnormally wet weather pattern and flooding, Mother Nature will only bring more of the same this week as a parade of storms keeps the wet weather pattern in place.
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said that, while more storms are expected this week, rainfall is not likely to be as intense as that of recent storms. “Still, because the ground is saturated in many areas, it won’t take as much rain to trigger small stream and flash flooding,” he said. “Seven-day rainfall on the order of 1-5 inches could also be enough to slow the rate of recession on some rivers and trigger a secondary rise on other rivers.”
EDIT
In addition, motorists traveling on portions of interstates 10, 20, 85 and 95 impacted by the rounds of heavy rain should make sure to slow down on wet roadways to avoid the risk of hydroplaning.
Drier and much cooler air should finally return to the Deep South and Southeast to end the week as another shot of Arctic air sweeps from the Central states into the Northeast. Unfortunately, the dry weather may not last for long as another potential rainmaker arrives later in the weekend or early next week.
