Tornado Threat Along the Central Gulf Today

It is officially the Spring severe weather season and atmospheric conditions are prime for severe thunderstorm development in the Central Gulf Monday. A Tornado Watch (above) has been issued through 5 pm EDT Monday, with the risk for a few tornadoes to form through this area. In addition to the tornado risk, damaging winds and large hail will also be possible. We have had numerous tornado warnings today with a possible touchdown in Enterprise, AL and Bainbridge, GA

.

Storms move east and strengthen with daytime heating. The threat shifts into southern Georgia by the late afternoon and evening. However, conditions clear by nighttime!

Heavy rainfall is also a factor with the potential for 1-3" of fresh rain for areas that already have saturated soils, especially near the I-20 and I-30 corridors. Be prepared for flooding! A flood watch is in effect for southern Georgia and SE Alabama through the rest of the day.
