SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Storm Team 3 is tracking another round of strong to severe storms possible with Monday's incoming cold front. This system is expected to bring multiple rounds of very strong and severe storms to our west on Sunday.
Large hail, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes are expected across Ohio, Mississippi, and Tennessee Valleys. As this strong cold front approaches the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry, it will weaken, but Storm Team 3 is still tracking rounds of gusty storms to move through the region Monday afternoon and evening.Local Timing & ImpactsThe first round of non severe storms ahead of this system will impact the region on Sunday.
We're tracking scattered showers and non severe thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening ahead of Monday's front. These storms move out Sunday night into Monday morning before the second and stronger round approaches. The timeframe for strong to severe storms on Monday enter the western region right around 3 p.
m. and exit the coast right around 8 p.m.
The main threat within these storms is going to be gusty and damaging winds with gusts possibly reaching up to 50-60 mph at times. Heavy rain will also be a concern with areas of poor drainage and low lying areas possibly seeing minor flooding or ponding. The tornado risk is also nonzero at this time.
Make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts as we head into Monday.How To PrepareSince we are now heading into springtime – when severe thunderstorms and tornadoes become more likely – it is a good idea to think about what you would to in the even that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors.
You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable – even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted.
