Wet Winter Predicted for Alabama

Winter during which there is a La Nina tends to have certain characteristics across the United States.  We are just two storms away of tying the record number of tropical storms set back in 2005.  We still have until November 30 for hurricane season to be over. If La Nina continues into the spring of 2021 it can contribute to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes across the central United States.  The Spring months would include March through May. 

The Farmers' Almanac has released their winter 2020-2021 forecast, calling it the “Winter of Great Divide” across the United States. The fall was indicated with cooler temperatures slowly moving in all regions.  According to the Farmers' Almanac, Alabama's winter weather for 2020-2021 is expected to be chilly and rainy.

Tracking La Nina and the Farmers’ Almanac can help prepare a homeowner for upcoming weather conditions.  Knowing our winter could carry a lot of rainfall indicates flooding.  Make sure any leaks have been addressed and the surrounding area around your foundation is stable.  Gutters should have already been cleaned out for the second time this year.  This will allow any rainwater to be directed away from your home. 

As a homeowner our responsibility is to protect our investment from indoor and outdoor hazards.  At SERVPRO of the Quad Cities it is our responsibility to our customers to restore and mitigate your property back to normal conditions before any disaster occurred.  We have highly trained technicians in water and storm restoration.  If the rainy winter weather has caused havoc to your home reach out to your local SERVPRO.

No matter what steps we take to protect our property unforeseen damages can occur.  Winter storms brings cold weather and frozen pipes.  Rainy winter weather can cause flooding, roof leaks and soil erosion.  Take the necessary steps to protect your property and leave any emergency mitigation to SERVPRO of the Quad Cities.
