Following a Thanksgiving in which much of the country enjoyed tranquil weather, things will change in a dramatic way in subsequent days.
The first sign of an evolving storm will show itself into the first part of this weekend. The primary threat will be tied to heavy rain and thunderstorms potentially causing flooding along the western Gulf coast, with locations such as Lake Charles, Louisiana and Houston that will face the risk of flooding rainfall through Saturday.
In preparation for the potential flash flooding on Saturday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed emergency crew throughout the state to help small communities.
“While low-lying and poor-drainage areas will be most at risk for flash flooding complications, anyone traveling amidst these storms should be on alert for ponding or flooding on roadways,” cautioned AccuWeather Meteorologist Mary Gilbert.
By Saturday night, as an area of low pressure forms over the Gulf of Mexico and moves northeastward, the adverse weather will follow suit. Warm and moist air flowing northward from the Gulf will help to fuel thunderstorms. Only areas along the far southern Louisiana coast will have a threat for severe thunderstorms very late Saturday night.
From there, the severe threat will expand.
“A deep push of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will combine with a strengthening area of low pressure to set off a multi-day severe threat across the southern United States,” stated Gilbert.
On Sunday, as the storm system continues to move northeastward, the warm and moist air will be drawn farther northward. In addition, the storm will be strengthening, which will further aid to the potential for strong-to-severe thunderstorms. New Orleans; Biloxi, Mississippi; and Montgomery, Alabama will be just a few cities at risk for severe thunderstorms on Sunday. Read more from Accuweather.
