SOUTHERN U.S. – A new bout of wet weather is about to blow into the South. Building off of recent storms in the region, Florida, Georgia, and other states are at risk for delayed transportation and flooding, as the storms build off of earlier precipitation and bring their own possibilities of severe weather. 

The storms, expected to begin in earnest on Tuesday and continue throughout the week, are expected to be stronger than a standard Southern summer storm. These conditions, according to AccuWeather, increase risk of flash flooding and delays.

"The combination of a front sagging southward and a pocket of cool air aloft will be the trigger for locally intense storms in the Deep South through midweek," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson.

The weather source advised that in some areas a couple inches of rain may fall in an hour, set to possibly overwhelm storm drains and standing high water levels on streets and highways. This deluge of precipitation bears the chance to cause flooding or near-zero visibility on roadways. 

"Light winds aloft will cause the storms to move very slowly, which will increase the risk of flash and urban flooding," Anderson said. 

The storms are expected to span from northern Florida, Georgia, Atlanta, and Alabama, and stretching as far as Arkansas and North Carolina. Officials expect portions of Interstate 10, I-95, and U.S. Route 17 to experience rainfalls between 3 to 6 inches or higher, increasing potential for delays. 

In some localized areas, the storms are expected to produce strong winds that bear the strength to topple trees.

The storms are expected to weaken in nature by late week, with regions in the Gulf and Atlantic regions only experiencing spotty storms.
