FLOOD THREAT Thurs through Saturday

#1 Postby WXBUFFJIM » Wed May 21, 2003 10:02 pm

Good evening everyone. Certainly when u look at the weather maps tonight, it's a bad situation potentially setting up Thursday through Saturday in the southeast and middle Atlantic with more rain on top of previous rains, adding to the water problems or just renewing the flooding threat. Parts of the northeast and new england have been drier than average as of late. But substantial rains are coming towards that direction Saturday and Sunday with rain, wind, and a local flood threat. A raw northeast wind ahead of the low too. Just a brutal late week and weekend setting up for the eastern seaboard.

Parts of Alabama, Tennessee and northwest Georgia have seen too much rain this month with 12-18 inches and more on the way unfortunately to add to the problems down there Thursday into Friday. The Mid Atlantic including DC, Baltimore and Richmond have seen 2-6 inch amounts this month and we added .50-1 inch on top of that today. Add 2-4 inches more potentially Friday into Saturday for this region, which will only add to the flood threat and flood worries potentially on rivers and streams. The potomac highlands are especially in jeopardy of seeing flash floods and flood potential.

Keep and eye on this. I'll post another update on this tomorrow. I'm back folks from my "WX BUNKER". It was quite a time early this month with severe. The vacation so to speak has officially ended for me and it's time to focus not on severe, but on flooding, and some serious flooding potentially in some areas of the east.

The GFS seems to like the idea of major rains in the southeast. Hopefully they won't get too bad. :o

Yes looks like they may hold on to that idea for a about a week or so anyways look @ the 60-h Total Pcn from 18z UTC on 5/21/03 GFS run


The Weather for southeast for the us for the next few days looks like it will cause some SVR flooding problems.Image
