DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — A powerful storm system is set to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms to the Wiregrass region on Tuesday, with cooler temperatures arriving later in the week.
All Wiregrass counties are expected to receive at least one inch of rain, with Coffee and Geneva counties possibly seeing up to 2-3 inches.
The storms are forecasted to move through the region between noon and 6 p.m. Tuesday. Primary threats include isolated wind gusts of up to 60 mph and the possibility of a brief spin-up tornado has been noted.
This storm system is fueled by a strong cold front combined with lingering remnants of Tropical Storm Sara. Rain is expected to taper off by late Tuesday evening.
Once the front passes, significantly cooler temperatures will settle in. By Thursday night, lows are forecasted to dip into the mid-30s, marking the chilliest weather of the season so far.
