New Yearâs Eve severe weather possible for Pine Belt The Pine Belt will see a chance for severe weather on New Year's Eve. (Source: WDAM) By Nick Lilja | December 29, 2020 at 1:04 PM CST - Updated December 29 at 1:04 PM PINE BELT (WDAM) - A pretty potent low pressure system is going to organize and deepen off to our west on Wednesday and Thursday. That will open the door for showers and storms to develop across the Pine Belt during the day Wednesday and lingering through Thursday and into Friday morning early. That means that while we are all saying âSee ya!â to 2020 in our homes, outside, the risk for severe weather will develop and persist as the year comes to a close.
