Tumultuous weather pattern set to unfold across SC states and SE United States

Monday, December 12, 2022

A turbulent weather pattern is set to unfold across the South Central states and southeastern U.S. states this week, bringing the risk for severe thunderstorms.

The same storm that is expected to bring feet of snow and blizzard conditions across the northern Plains this week will bring the risk of severe weather farther south. Some of the same communities at risk for the severe thunderstorms will be the same that were hit by a deadly tornado outbreak just weeks ago, at the end of November.

Prior the arrival of severe thunderstorms, tranquil but abnormally warm conditions are likely across the southern Plains. Through Friday, cities like Little Rock Arkansas and Dallas were running more than 7-9 degrees above normal, respectively. The warmth has help to set the stage for the impending severe thunderstorm.

AccuWeather Meteorologist Renee Duff said that the drastic contrast of the warm, humid air ahead of the storm and the cold, dry air following the storm will create the right atmospheric conditions for an eruption of severe weather.

The significant risk to lives and property is expected to unfold as thunderstorms erupt late on Monday across parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas.

The thunderstorms are forecast to spawn late in the day Monday, but the vast majority of the threat is expected to occur after dark and persist throughout the nighttime hours. These storms will be capable of bringing a wide array of dangerous threats from hail and damaging wind gusts to isolated tornadoes.

The residents in this area should be prepared by having a way to get severe weather alerts at night, like the AccuWeather App.

The severe weather threat will persist into Tuesday morning and continue through the day as well. Severe thunderstorm reports may be even more widespread Tuesday, and target cities from Springfield, Missouri, and Little Rock, Arkansas, on south to Houston and New Orleans.
