Holiday weekend rain threatens South to Southeast
Scattered rain and pockets of heavy downpours could slow travel, with minor localized flooding possible where storms repeatedly track, forecasters said.
A stalled cold front moving into the South, Southeast, and Mid-South will bring a noticeable shift in weather this holiday weekend, characterized by steady rain and embedded heavier downpours.
The boundary between cooler-than-normal air and warm, moisture-rich Gulf air acts as a focus for scattered rainfall stretching through the Deep South and into the Carolinas.
Urban areas and low-lying spots remain vulnerable to repeated rounds of precipitation, with flooding risks persisting through the holiday and Mother Day.
By Mother Day, the system looks to gradually clear Texas and Louisiana, shifting the focal point for persistent rainfall east, mainly between Mississippi and the Carolinas.
Travelers should anticipate potential delays and changing outdoor plans throughout the holiday weekend, as the slow-moving system creates a wet environment across parts of the region.
