[Wednesday] – Tropical Disturbance Still Expected to Bring Heavy Rainfall to SE US Beginning this Weekend

   Posted by Levi at 11:07am on May 23, 2018

The tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is still expected to bring extra rain to the southeast U.S. from Louisiana to Florida, likely beginning by Saturday. Note that frequent afternoon/evening rain is already occurring in these areas due to a moist air mass that has persisted since last week. The disturbance will move northward into the Gulf of Mexico and generate more consistent heavy rainfall, potentially for several days, as it will be moving slowly.

The National Hurricane Center now gives a 60% chance of subtropical or tropical cyclone formation within the next 5 days. However, the potential for flooding due to heavy rains will occur even if the disturbance does not develop, so be prepared for excess rainfall into next week. Your local National Weather Service office will have more specific details for your local area as the event nears.

I may have a video update tonight or tomorrow.

Forecast Additional Rainfall for Next 5 Days:

    Thanks for the update, Levi! It’s good to have you back. Are you also planning on releasing an outlook for the season?

      I will probably discuss the seasonal outlook at an opportune, quiet time before mid-June. I just haven’t had the chance yet.

      From what I heard, it should be average to near average.

        Well, we’re gonna have a quiet season in the Atlantic ocean. So far, it’s been that way. (I live in Florida)

    Thanks Levi, so much for the shrimp boil this weekend in SRQ!

    The models have been having a hard time with this one.

    What is your thoughts on where this will go, and how strong. Also, some areas along the gulf coast are dismal, or substandard pumping capacity, and flood easily.

    Nice to see you back what you appear to love to do. Five day outlook from NHC is 90% as of Thursday. It’s trying to make it before the official season starts!
