A Few Severe Storms Possible Wednesday and Thursday

November 26, 2024

If you have a chance, I'd like to know your thoughts on the new format I'm trying. Let me know if you like the format below or the old format that was more conversational. Thanks!

Severe weather may affect parts of the Southeast US over the next two days:

Wednesday Night to Early Thursday

• Timing: Late Wednesday night into Thursday morning
• Areas Affected: Lower Mississippi Valley into northern Alabama
• Main Threats:
  • Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms
  • Potential for large hail and damaging wind gusts
  • Possible tornadoes if conditions align
• Contributing Factors: Warm, moist air moving up from the Gulf of Mexico

Day 2 Outlook - Wednesday through Thursday morning

Thursday (Thanksgiving Day)

• Timing: Throughout the day, starting in the morning
• Areas Affected: Broader Southeast region
• Main Threats:
  • Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms
  • Primary risks are gusty/damaging winds and isolated hail
  • Small chance of tornadoes
• Pattern: Storms will move along and ahead of a cold front moving through the Southeast

Day 3 Outlook - Thursday into Thursday night

While severe weather is possible both days, the risk level remains "Marginal" (lowest category), with Thursday showing a more expansive threat area across the Southeast compared to Wednesday's more concentrated risk in Mississippi/Alabama.

That's it for today. We're still looking at multiple days of cold temps starting Friday.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
