...There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Western Gulf Coast on Tuesday...
...Light snow over parts of the northern Cascades, and Northern Rockies
overnight Tuesday into Wednesday...
Low pressure off the Carolina Coast lingers over the area through
Wednesday evening. The system produces rain over parts of the
Mid-Atlantic/Southeast through Wednesday evening. In addition, a front
over the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley will move eastward to the
Southeast and absorb the low off the Carolina Coast by Thursday.
Moisture streaming off the Gulf will aid in producing showers and severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Western Gulf Coast on Tuesday
evening. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Western Gulf Coast through
Wednesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes.
As the front moves eastward, rain will move into the Ohio Valley and the
Central/Southern Appalachians on early Wednesday. Rain will also expand
into the Lower Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast by Thursday.
Meanwhile, a front moves onshore over the Pacific Northwest overnight
Tuesday, traveling to the Upper Mississippi Valley, Central Plains, and
Central Rockies by Thursday evening. Light rain will develop over the
Pacific Northwest Coast by Tuesday evening. As the energy crosses the
Cascades, light snow will develop over the highest elevations of the
Northern Cascades and Northern Rockies. Most of the precipitation ends
overnight Wednesday over the Northwestern part of the country. Early
Thursday, light rain will start over parts of the Northern Plains and move
into the Upper Mississippi Valley by Thursday evening.
