Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, May 25, 2013.

Heavy rain over Texas caused major flooding for San Antonio, while showers and thunderstorms turned severe over the Northern High Plains on Saturday. Onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico for the southwest, in combination with a wave of low pressure that moved eastward over Texas, allowed for extremely heavy rainfall to develop across south-central Texas late Friday into Saturday. Rainfall totals at San Antonio Airport, Texas reached up to 9.87 inches by mid-day Saturday. This broke the record for the heaviest rainfall over one calendar day in May for San Antonio. The 24 hour total from this rainfall event has reached up to 12.16 inches, but did not break the record for the heaviest rainfall over a 24 hour period for San Antonio, which is 13.35 inches. This system created major flooding for San Antonio and the surrounding area.

In the North, a low pressure system moved off the Northern and Central Rockies and created a warm front that stretched from western Montana into the Upper and Mid-Mississippi River Valley. This system kicked up scattered showers and thunderstorms over western Montana and eastern North and South Dakotas, while more widespread rain showers developed over Illinois and Iowa. Some of these storms turned severe with large hail and strong winds. Pea to quarter size hail was reported at Belfield, North Dakota and Burns, Montana.

In the East, a low pressure system brought more rain to the Northeast. Precipitation from this system turned to snow overnight Friday and into Saturday morning due to cooler temperatures, but most places that saw snow, only a dusting of snow.

Areal Flood Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:26 AM AKDT on May 25, 2013

... Flood Warning in effect from 815 am akdt to 215 PM akdt Sunday for
the Salcha river...

The National Weather Service in Fairbanks has issued a

* Flood Warning for the Salcha river

* until 215 PM akdt Sunday

* rapid snow melt at higher elevations over the past two days has
caused a surge of water into the Salcha drainage. The rising water

likely develop quickly.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. Water
levels can rise rapidly and people along the river are encouraged to
move property to higher ground away from the river bank.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
you are relative to streams... rivers... or creeks. Campers and hikers
should avoid low lying areas such as gravel bars.
