Eyes Remain on the Northeast Next Weekend
03/15/24 9:35am ET
Good morning everyone. Our daisy-chain system to continues to spawn clusters of severe thunderstorms in the South and Gulf States, while things remain rather innocuous up here in the Northeast. That being said, we continue to see signs of the possibility of a coastal or near-coastal storm next weekend. For the moment, things are quiet though and will remain so until some time late Friday at the end of the workweek; so we will focus on where the severe weather is right now.
Heavy showers and thunderstorms continue to pound the northern tier of the Gulf States as everything slides towards the Atlanta Metro area of Georgia. Slow movement of these storms will continue to cause flash flooding issues, as well as embedded severe weather capable of damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. For that reason, severe thunderstorm watches remain posted for parts of Alabama, and it wouldn’t surprise me if those watches shift east into Georgia.
We also see storms firing back up in parts of central and eastern Texas, on through northwest Louisiana. These will also be capable of embedded severe weather with isolated large hail, tornado risk, and frequent lightning. If things continue to fire up, the heating of the day may result in the need for more severe thunderstorm and tornado watches in theses areas as storms drift east.
Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –

We start off with clouds & sun today, then increasing clouds and the slight chance of a few scattered showers. Highs will be in the mid 60’s.
