 Especially the southeast, a generally stationary front will join forces with an enhanced flow of Gulf of Mexico moisture between a disturbance taking shape over the Midwest and high pressure located near Bermuda to produce widespread thunderstorms both today and into next week, with drenching downpours likely from time to time for many. While the risk for severe thunderstorms now becomes more localized, as opposed to some of the widespread wind damage in the southeast on Thursday, these rounds of storms mean the threat for flash flooding and difficult travel, despite also providing some relief from the ongoing drought.
