Storms and Travel: Preparing for Weather Disruptions Thursday Update 09/12/2024
How can shifting weather patterns disrupt your daily life? Find out as we unpack the latest developments on tropical storms and their far-reaching impacts on various regions. Join me, meteorologist Steve Pellettiere, as we navigate the heavy rainfall from Francine that's taking aim at the mid-south Tennessee Valley and southeast, and the severe weather threats advancing into Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. We'll discuss the potential for flash flooding, significant street flooding, and how these conditions could wreak havoc on travel plans, particularly in Atlanta. Plus, we’ll shed light on Tropical Storm Florentine, now weakening but still a cause for concern with its persistent rainfall over the next day and a half.
In addition to our in-depth storm analysis, we'll cover the broader weather picture across the nation. From dense fog that could snarl morning travel in Newark and the Northeast, to generally favorable conditions in Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, and Dallas-Fort Worth, we’ve got you covered. We’ll also highlight the impending heavier rainfall across Montana and the Dakotas, and its expected impact on the Great Lakes region in the coming days. Stay tuned for all the essential weather updates you need to stay informed and prepared.
Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking into weathermanpodcom on your Thursday. It's the updated version on the 12th day of September 2024. And taking a look at the effects of Francine, heavy rainfall from Francine will spread into the mid-south Tennessee Valley and southeast today, while severe weather threats start to shift eastward into Alabama and to the Florida Panhandle as the storm continues to move over the southern Mississippi River Valley and southern Tennessee Valley. So the elevated risk to some heavy downpours and again some locally severe thunderstorms looks good, especially in the western Florida Panhandle, southern sections of Georgia during the daytime today and the western Florida panhandle, southern sections of Georgia during the daytime today.
Speaker 1:Tropical storm Florentine is cold now. It continues to weaken as it lifts north into the mid-afternoon hours on this Thursday and it could have a little bit of heavy winds at times. But that's not the main feature. The main feature from this system at this point is the heavy rains, and those rains will slowly, gradually diminish but still be a factor causing some local flooding in places, local flash flooding and high-range street flooding in places of poor drainage. Over the next 36 hours. Elsewhere, if you are traveling, some of the showers and thunderstorms will be in the Atlanta area and that will be causing some delays in and out of Atlanta if you're making connections there during the daytime today or this evening as well. So expect some delays going into there and any aircraft coming out of there. They're going to have a tough time getting in, so therefore they're going to be late getting out of there. So there may be some delays and even some cancellations because of the heavy downpour situation as the storm continues to affect the central and southern Mississippi River Valley.
Speaker 1:In Charlotte not as bad. Newark, new York had some dense fog in some spots earlier this morning, but that is clearing up, so no problems in and around there. Boston also looking good, as does Chicago, minneapolis, st Paul and also in Texas, both Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin all looking pretty good today. West Coast no problems. Expect a little bit of morning fog in some places, but generally dry and no problems weather-wise, aviation-wise into the West Coast Cities during the day today and also tomorrow too.
Speaker 1:Looks like the heavier rain is across Montana, working its way into the Dakotas and that will be spreading eastward, so it could be causing some problems for the Great Lakes, chicago and Minneapolis sometime during the next several days. But East Coast, except high pressure offshore causing fog in the morning. Any arrivals in the morning may be delayed because of some lower visibilities and strictly low IFR weather, but no problems expected there. Weather situation calling for fair conditions across the northeast for the next several days, with temperatures in the 80s daytime, nighttime back into the 50s and lower 60s and dense fog in spots during the morning hours, commencing Friday right through Sunday of this weekend. I'm Andy Ronda, steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Friday.
