Flood threat rising across drought-stricken Southeast

Truckers heading to drought-stricken parts of the Southeast will run into frequent downpours the rest of this week.

While heavy thunderstorms are expected to produce beneficial rain, including in parts of Florida that have been dealing with recent wildfires, the storms will also bring the risk of flooding.

While some cities in the inland Southeast, such as Atlanta, experienced a fairly wet February with 5.29 inches of rain (slightly above average), those along the coasts have been much drier.

Winter severe storm threat for truckers in South

Late-winter severe storms could spread across the South the next two days as a strong cold front approaches the region.

The front will drench parts of the Plains and Midwest before the rain changes to snow, sleet and freezing rain in those regions. The atmosphere over the South will remain unstable, moist and unseasonably warm at ground level. However, aloft the atmosphere will be very cold. This is a good setup for severe weather.

Truckers are likely to hit scattered areas of gusty straight-line...
