Another Round of Severe Weather for the South

The last week of April was pretty stormy for the South. As we turn the page into the first full week of May, severe weather is back in the cards for parts of the Southern Plains and Deep South. Severe weather chances will ramp up Tuesday and Wednesday. We are still a bit too far out in advance to see what the main threats will be but stay tuned to further forecasts.

Along with the severe weather chances, heavy rain will be likely across the Ohio Valley. The forecast is calling for 2-4" of rain by Thursday and some flooding could be possible with the repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms. We are slowly trying to put a dent in the drought for the South will it take more consistent rains over the next few months to make some significant changes. The long term outlook stays slightly above average in the next 6-10 days.
