Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, May 24, 2012.

Rain and thunderstorms will continue across parts of the Midwest and Central Plains on Thursday as low pressure forms along a cold front extending through the Central U.S. The heaviest amounts of rain are anticipated near the front in areas of northern Wisconsin, southern Minnesota and Iowa. There is a slight risk of severe storms for the Upper and Mid-Mississippi Valleys Thursday afternoon and night with damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.

In the West, a strong storm system will drop southward from the Gulf of Alaska on Thursday. This system will lead to an increase in showers and possible thunderstorms across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Intermountain West. The colder airmass accompanying this system will lower snow levels in the mountains and cause temperatures to run about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. Meanwhile, winds will pick up across the rest of the West, increasing fire danger potential across the Southwest and parts of southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado.

In the East, light showers and afternoon thunderstorms will remain possible across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. To the south, heavy rain and strong thunderstorms with gusty winds are expected to continue across the southern tip of Florida. Saturated grounds from heavy rainfall that occurred during the last couple of days combined with Thursday\'s rainfall will continue flood concerns near Miami-Dade County.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:00 PM MDT on May 23, 2012

... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 8 am to 11 PM MST
Friday...
... Wind Advisory will expire at 8 PM MST this evening...

The Wind Advisory will expire at 8 PM MST this evening. A Wind
Advisory remains in effect from 8 am to 11 PM MST Friday.


* Timing... winds continued to diminish in speed this evening.
However... strong and gusty winds will redevelop early Friday
morning and continue into Friday evening.

* Winds... south to southwest winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to
55 mph will occur Friday morning into Friday evening. Even
stronger winds will occur in the mountains.

* Impacts... the strong winds will create blowing dust along
highways which could reduce visibilities to less than a quarter
mile in areas prone to blowing dust. These areas include but are
not limited to Interstate 10 between Tucson and Phoenix as well
as between Benson and the New Mexico border. In addition... the
winds will make driving difficult for high profile vehicles.


Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 30 mph or greater
are expected in the valleys... or 35 mph or greater above
5000 feet. Higher gusts are also likely. This could make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution.

rapid spread. Ongoing fires may experience rapid and erratic
fire growth. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are
either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of strong
winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will create
the potential for rapid and erratic fire growth.

Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the field
of the red flag warning for portions of Southeast Arizona.
