Days of storms across South brings threat of flash flooding every day this week

A stormy stretch of days is shaping up for the Southeast, as a stalled front drapes across the region.

The front will act as a conveyor belt for storms to move along, allowing the rain to pile up. It will take time to try to lift back north due to a big blocking high sitting across the Northeast, the FOX Forecast Center said.

“The yellow that you’re seeing (below) represents 2-3 inches widespread,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime said. “It’s not just a Florida problem, but you look at Mississippi, Alabama … those shades of orange and some pumpkin orange representing 3-5 inches.”

Rain will begin to clear out gradually each day as the northern high starts to scoot east over the Atlantic. Until that happens, expect a deluge of rain, and with it comes the chance of flash flooding every day this week.

Adding to the already messy week, an area of low pressure may try to form along the front, enhancing rain for Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas into the weekend.
