Winter storm brings severe weather threat
A significant winter storm is instigating a rare and concerning severe weather threat across the Gulf Coast and Deep South regions of the United States. The confluence of frigid Arctic air and warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico is creating conditions ripe for the development of potent thunderstorms. These storms are anticipated to bring damaging winds exceeding 60 mph, posing a significant risk to property and infrastructure. In addition to high winds, there is a low-end risk of tornadoes, further exacerbating the potential for destruction and danger to life.
