Weather Summary
Jessica Parker
Weather Underground midday recap for Friday, May 25, 2012.

Scattered thunderstorms persisted over the Central US on Friday, as a frontal boundary draped from the Midwest through the Rockies. This was a result of two areas of low pressure. One system moved over the Upper Midwest and into eastern Canada, while another moved eastward from the Central Rockies. This allowed for a frontal boundary to extend from the Great Lakes, over the Mid-Mississippi River Valley, and into the Central Plains. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed along this frontal boundary. Some of these storms turned severe over Iowa and Nebraska with strong winds and large hail. Rainfall totals ranged from 1 to 2 inches across the Central US, with heaviest rainfall reported in Olathe, Kansas with a mid-day total of 2.13 inches of rain.

Behind this system, a low pressure system moved over northern California and into the Great Basin. This brought scattered rain showers to the Pacific Northwest, parts of northern California, and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Highest elevations saw overnight and early morning snow showers due to cool temperatures associated with this airmass. The southern side of this system created strong winds for the Southwest and Southern Rockies. Due to prevailing warm and dry conditions, fire danger remained high for these areas.
