00:02 I'm meteorologist Michelle McLeod,

00:07 bringing you your forecast from the Southeast.

00:09 You spot the front on this map?

00:11 Don't worry, I'll show it to you.

00:13 It's the line of demarcation between the warmer air

00:16 and the cooler air, the yellow and the green.

00:19 Got a cold front sweeping through

00:20 and it's been bringing some showers and thunderstorms.

00:23 Some of those have packed a punch.

00:24 We've had some tornado warnings,

00:25 severe thunderstorm warnings,

00:27 definitely had severe weather.

00:29 And of course, flooding, when it comes to the flooding.

00:32 Here's what I have for you.

00:33 I've got some flood watches for portions of Florida,

00:36 like Panama City, you go into Alabama like Dothan,

00:39 and you make way a little farther east, that's flood watch.

00:42 We've got flood warnings as well for portions of Florida.

00:44 And then I've got flood warning for New Smyrna Beach,

00:47 that's a river flood warning.

00:49 That one has been ongoing for quite some time.

00:52 Now, it's not all bad, the rain that we're seeing.

00:55 Look on the Western edge of Florida, Tampa,

00:57 you absolutely need the rain.

00:59 You're still seeing drought conditions.

01:01 And a lot of the Southeast has been getting on a soaker

01:04 and it's been much needed

01:06 as you're seeing those drought conditions.

01:08 But you know what I always say

01:09 when it comes to heavy rain and dry ground,

01:11 the potential for flash flooding is there

01:13 and that's why you have those flood alerts.

01:16 Now, for Sunday, here's what things are looking like.

01:19 That front that I just showed you,

01:20 that's gonna continue to move its way farther east

01:24 and you're gonna get some thunderstorms on Sunday as well.

01:28 So be on the lookout for the potential

01:32 for some flash flooding in those areas as well.

01:34 I wanna show you what things are looking like

01:36 on exclusive AccuWeather Future Radar.

01:38 By 8 a.m. you're gonna see the Atlanta Metro,

01:40 the upstate of South Carolina,

01:42 and around places like Macon, Georgia,

01:44 really getting in on more of those moderate showers.

01:47 By the afternoon, things start to fizzle out.

01:50 But look, it's really beneficial

01:53 to see how this is working out.

01:55 This moisture coming from the Gulf,

01:56 it is extending all the way into the Carolinas

01:59 along this front.

02:00 And this front seems to be slow moving.

02:02 So these storms are training

02:04 and now you're starting to see some of those oranges

02:07 and yellows in there.

02:08 So the rain is starting to gain steam a bit.

02:11 And then by Sunday night, it all starts to fizzle out.

02:15 That front continues to march farther east on Monday

02:19 and leave for a lot of dry conditions

02:21 and pleasant conditions in the south on Monday.
