HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED FRIDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE MID-SOUTH... A slow moving cold front will move across the region Friday and Friday night. Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will move across the region starting Friday morning and ending Saturday morning. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches are expected in the watch area with isolated rainfall amounts of over 6 inches.
There is a cold front moving in from you people in the west and north who can't keep better control of your weather! [banghead]
A slow-moving cold front will interact with deep moisture to produce showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-South this week. Widespread heavy rainfall is expected to develop by Wednesday morning, continuing through the overnight hours. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are expected in the watch area, with localized higher amounts possible. Very moist soils due to recent rainfall will result in significant run-off. Flooding is likely along many of the rivers and tributaries. In addition, widespread flooding of lowlands and poor drainage urban areas is anticipated. Additional heavy rainfall is expected later in the week.At least we sit on the bluff side of the Mighty Muddy, so we won't see the flood waters directly. But it is amazing how many people continue to move into new houses only a few hundred feet from the banks of tributaries that will probably be flooding this week. [banghead] The areas are not technically in the flood plain, but those boundaries are at least 25 years old... [rolleyes2]
Runoff from heavy rainfall may result in rapid rises in river, stream, and creek levels. Widespread lowland flooding is possible and poor drainage urban areas may experience street flooding.
That's what you het for living so far north of the Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon line!!! [lol]i blame my grandparents .
Today we received the biggest snowstorm of the winter: 12 inches. Last summer I installed a propane-fired boiler and radiant heat tubes to heat the concrete pad I poured in front of our garage. Here are two photos of me clearing the non-heated portion of the driveway with my trusty tank-track ATV and snow blower. Almost as much fun as playing with the new WeatherCat 3 beta, but quite noticeably colder.
Ugh! My whole 'home' page is now twice as tall with 10 separate Warnings/Watches/Statements. It's Springtime weather in February! :o Even WC is warning of "Torrential Rain"!
And Winter has not given up yet.... This morning in the Netherlands: -2?C and it is snowing, combined with a strong E-NE wind.
Temperatures may remain below or close to zero for the rest of the day which will be a record for this late in the season. The coldest 17 March ever in the region (so far) was 17 March 1909 with a high of +1.2?C.
We are having a late winter here too.
