4/25 – Rob’s “TORNADO WATCH” Afternoon Forecast

The main issues this afternoon is the potential for severity as a tornado watch continues

A line of showers and t-storms associated with the cold front could set up a prolonged period of heavy rainfall mainly over the northern half of the area. Total rainfall amounts should be in the 1 to 3 inch range with isolated higher amounts. There is the potential for these amounts to fall within a short time frame. If this occurs, then flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas could occur.

Once the front moves through, which should be by early evening, clouds and some light rain areas will remain but conditions will gradually improve through tonight. Models are keeping all mention of clouds and light rain to the east trough for Friday morning. This may be the case, but it will be just off to the east and still may affect a few of the Miss coastal counties. Regardless, all the area will begin to dry out Friday through the weekend.
