Severe weather conditions in 2023

AccuWeather's latest forecast (December 30, 2022) showed that a storm could cause severe thunderstorms in portions of the Central United States.

Those enjoying New Year's Eve outside their homes could expect mild to rainy conditions before Monday's flooding rainfall.

The report explained that the storm could re-intensify starting Monday, moving from Colorado Rockies, resulting in potential mountain snow.

AccuWeather's outlook said New Year's Day could expect milder weather conditions.

• Mild weather is expected to unload in El Paso, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Charlotte, Jacksonville, New York and Washington.
• Meanwhile, dry conditions could unfold in Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis, Billings, Denver and Seattle.

Besides the rounds of rain, the forecast warned that severe weather conditions could unload damaging thunderstorms starting Monday afternoon until Tuesday evening. The report said the thunderstorms could affect Houston, New Orleans, Little Rock and Birmingham residents.

The first week of January would be problematic for many homeowners as the storm could produce isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and local flash flooding.

Those planning to travel next week should monitor the weather conditions as the storm could cause reduced road visibility and difficulty traveling.

People in the Central U.S. should watch for potential tornado watches or isolated tornadoes, especially in Mississippi, Little Rock, Arkansas, Texas, Dallas, Houston and Jackson.

Homeowners should prepare emergency plans for potential life-threatening tornadoes. Knowing how to act during a tornado outbreak could help save from injuries and casualties.
