Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, May 18, 2013.

A strong low pressure system will bring active weather to the center of the nation on Saturday. The system will move off the Rockies and into the Plains, which will push a warm front into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, while it continues pulling a cold front southeastward across the Western states. Counter clockwise flow around this system will pull more moisture and energy into the Plains from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for showers and thunderstorms to develop from Oklahoma through the Dakotas and into Minnesota. These areas are under a slight threat of severe weather development with strong winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. Parts of western Nebraska and northwestern Kansas are under a moderate risk of severe thunderstorm development. This area has increased risk for tornado development on Saturday.

East of this activity, a weak trough slowly moves over the Eastern Valleys, allowing for a few more widespread showers and thunderstorms to pop up from the Southern Appalachians through the Mid-Atlantic states. Meanwhile in the West, moisture from the Pacific Ocean will allow for scattered showers with afternoon thunderstorms to persist for the Northern and Central Rockies. Severe storms are not likely in these areas. In the Southwest, gusty winds, warm temperatures, and dry conditions will maintain dangerous fire weather conditions on Saturday.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 5:00 AM AKDT on May 18, 2013

... Unusual late season cold weather...

An unseasonably cold air mass from western Alaska is sweeping
southeast toward the northeast Gulf and the Panhandle Saturday
into Sunday and will likely interupt the growing season over many
parts of the northern Panhandle early next week.

Colder air aloft may support some sleet mixing in with rain in the
Yakutat area tonight into Sunday morning. While much less
likely... rain showers Sunday into Sunday evening over the northern
Panhandle may have some sleet or ice pellets mix in with heavier
showers.

Once the cold air has settled and skies begin to clear Sunday
night... parts of the northern Panhandle will see frosty mornings
into early next week. Temperatures will lower into the upper 20s
for the Yakutat area with low temperatures reaching into the lower
30s for wind sheltered and low lying areas near Hoonah...
Gustavus... Elfin Cove... Pelican and Juneau.

Residents should prepare to take plants indoors as temperatures
in these areas may drop to around 30 degrees for a few hours
during the early morning on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday morning
temperatures may begin to rebound slightly... but frost and
freezing temperatures are not out of the question.
