Torrential Rain & Thunder Continue in Parts of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi
09/05/24 4:37pm ET
Good afternoon everyone. A strong cold front continues to push across the upper Great Lakes region, with gusty showers and storms ahead of the boundary. We also have scattered individual clusters nearing the Detroit area, as well as some heavy thunderstorms in northern Indiana.
While we don’t have any severe weather watches or warnings at this time, locally severe weather is possible; including damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning, and torrential rain. Right now, out biggest concern is the wind behind the front, with rough waters and dangerous boating/swimming conditions in the western & central Great Lakes and shorelines.
Our secondary concern remains parts of Florida, as well as most of Louisiana and Mississippi, with tropical moisture inundating these areas. For Florida, the focus is on the east coast today from the Port St. Lucie area, northward. Look for locally heavy showers and thunderstorms, as well as the potential for some flooding.
