Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, May 23, 2013.

Severe storms developed over the Southern Plains from northern Texas through northern Oklahoma on Thursday. A trough of low pressure lingered over the region, which pulled moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This allowed for showers and thunderstorms to develop in these areas, some of which turned severe with large hail, damaging winds, and periods of heavy rainfall. A brief tornado was reported near Cedar Hill, Texas. Hail 2.5 inches in diameter was reported near Davis, Oklahoma and 65 mph winds were reported at Newcastle and Dickson, Oklahoma. Rainfall totals varied over 2 inches with this system. Oklahoma City reported a mid-day total of 2.92 inches of rain.

Meanwhile in the East, a trough of low pressure over the East Coast allowed for a strong cold front to stretch from the Northeast through the Eastern Valleys. Moisture ahead of this front allowed for showers to develop from the Carolinas through Maine, with some areas of thunderstorms. There was a slight chance that these storms would turn severe from Virginia through New Hampshire, but severe storms have not developed.

Meanwhile Out West, a low pressure system mover the Rockies maintained widespread showers across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. Strong winds developed ahead of this system from eastern Montana through western Colorado. Gillette, Wyoming reported maximum winds up to 56 mph.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:12 PM PDT on May 23, 2013

... Warm weather and fast flowing cold water are a deadly
combination this Holiday weekend...

Area rivers... streams and reservoirs are directly fed from the
melting snow pack in the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains.
Even though a stream or river looks cool and inviting... the water
is actually very cold. Outdoor enthusiasts are advised to use
extreme caution near rivers... streams and reservoirs.

If you are planning travel into the southern Sierra Nevada... the
Tehachapi Mountains... the Kern River Canyon or the Sierra foothills
this weekend... remember that the increased cold water flow in
rivers... streams and reservoirs... combined with expected
temperatures in the 70s to lower 80s... can be a potentially
deadly combination.

People planning activities such as rafting... swimming or
paddling should always wear life jackets or vests... and keep other
flotation gear handy when in the water. Be aware that exposure to
cold water for too long could quickly result in hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a sudden loss of body temperature which can be
fatal. Early signs of hypothermia are uncontrollable shivering and
numbness of limbs. The advanced stages of hypothermia include...
memory loss... disorientation... slurred speech... drowsiness and
apparent exhaustion. A person may appear drunk during the advanced
stage and shivering may decrease or stop. If you witness someone
suffering from the symptoms of hypothermia... get help immediately.
