Weather Summary
Kari Kiefer
Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, May 24, 2012.

Severe weather developed over the North Central US on Thursday, as a low pressure system moved over the Upper Midwest. This created a frontal boundary that stretched from the Great Lakes through the Central Plains and produced moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms. These storms produced heavy rainfall and strong winds for Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Rainfall totals ranged around 2 inches across the region, with heaviest rainfall reported in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a mid-day total of 2.10 inches. Flood advisories have been issued across the Upper Midwest due to this low moving frontal boundary. Meanwhile, the back side of this system allowed for another front to linger over the Northern Rockies. This system stretched into the Pacific Northwest and produced scattered showers throughout the day. Cooler temperatures over Northern Rockies allowed for snow showers to develop at the highest elevations in western Montana and northwestern Wyoming.

South of this activity, winds increased over the Southwest as a trough of low pressure moved in from the west. This created another warm and dry day for Arizona, New Mexico, and the Great Basin, which kept fire danger high.

In the East, heavy rainfall and strong winds associated with thunderstorm activity continued over southern Florida and the Bahamas. To the north, however, lighter and more widespread showers persisted in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states as a frontal boundary stalled over the region.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:20 PM MDT on May 24, 2012

... Wind Advisory now in effect from 8 am PDT /8 am MST/ to 11 PM
PDT /11 PM MST/ Friday...

The Wind Advisory is now in effect from 8 am PDT /8 am MST/ to
11 PM PDT /11 PM MST/ Friday for most of southern Nevada and
southeast California and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area
and Colorado River valley.

* Winds: southwest winds at 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph
possible.

* Timing: winds will increase during the morning hours and peak
during the afternoon... and gradually diminish around sunset.

* Locations: the Las Vegas Valley... Pahrump... Beatty...
Caliente... Pioche... Boulder City... Laughlin... Primm... Death
Valley... Yucca Valley... Morongo Valley... Needles... Lake Mead
National Recreation Area.

* Impacts: strong Crosswinds will create difficult driving
conditions. Areas of blowing sand and dust are possible...
especially near Dry Lake beds. Visibilities may be reduced
at times due to the blowing sand and dust.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that Crosswinds are expected to be strong
enough to make driving difficult... especially for high profile
vehicles. In addition... strong winds over desert areas could result
in briefly lowered visibilities to well under a mile at times in
blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra caution.





Fire Weather Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:42 PM PDT on May 24, 2012

... Red flag warning remains in effect until 11 PM PDT Friday for
strong winds and low relative humidity for fire weather zones
226... 227... 228 and 229...

* affected area... in California... fire weather zone 226 Owens
Valley/southern Inyo Forest... fire weather zone 227 Death
Valley National Park... fire weather zone 228 Mojave Desert and
fire weather zone 229 lower Colorado River valley.

* Timing... red flag criteria is expected to be met as winds
increase across Southern California by late this afternoon
ahead of an unseasonably strong area of low pressure. Gusty
winds will subside slightly in some areas and rh values may
recover briefly overnight to below criteria... but will easily
meet criteria again by late Friday morning areawide.

* Wind... southwest to west 15 to 25 mph with gusts around 35 mph
today... and gusts up near 50 mph on Friday. The east slopes of
the Sierra may see their strongest winds tonight when gusts to
60 mph are possible.

* Humidity... minimum values 8 to 15 percent.

* Impacts... the combination of gusty winds... low relative
humidity and dry fuels will create conditions that are
favorable for extreme fire behavior.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...
