The same large storm that will be responsible for bringing snow to the north-central United States from Thursday to Friday will also cause severe weather and localized flooding problems over the Southern states during the same time period, AccuWeather forecasters say. In the wake of the storm, unseasonably cold air will settle over the region, with multiple rounds of snow possible into next week.
“A great deal of Gulf of Mexico moisture will be funneled northward and into this storm,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Courtney Travis said, adding that this will increase the potential for flooding downpours from some of the heavier thunderstorms, especially in areas where the ground remains wet from prior storms this winter.
