The latest 3-day outlook from NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center indicates that most of Georgia and Alabama along with parts of Mississippi and Florida have a moderate chance of severe weather on Thursday, April 23, 2020. While the models don’t agree on the timing yet, it looks like it may be a little earlier than the last system, with more severe weather occurring during the day (depending on location) rather than at night. Like the previous systems, there could be two or more rounds of severe weather, and like the system last weekend, the amount and location of the worst weather will depend on the location of the warm front. Follow the National Weather Service for more updates on the evolution of the storm system, have a way to get warnings, and be prepared to get to a shelter once you have been warned.

If you are interested more in what meteorologists are thinking about the system so far, you can read Kirk Mellish’s blog at https://www.wsbradio.com/weather/monitoring-thursday-thursday-night/11GYwT3aCp6oNSyCjb4D8K/, He has a separate post describing why we are in such an active pattern at https://www.wsbradio.com/weather/why-the-string-storm-systems/1D96jyF52ucVPZ30BpweuN/.
