Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, May 25, 2012.

Expect more active weather to develop across the Great Lakes on Friday, as a low pressure system moves from the Upper Midwest into eastern Canada. This system will push a cold front over the Great Lakes and Midwest, producing scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. There is a slight chance that some of these storms will turn severe with strong winds and large hail. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches, with over 2 inches likely in areas of severe weather development.

Behind this activity in the West, a low pressure system will move over the Great Basin and into the Southern Rockies. Flow around this system will produce cooler temperatures across the West, while also triggering scattered showers over the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and Intermountain West. Snow showers may develop again across the highest elevations of the Northern Rockies.

Meanwhile in the East, high pressure builds from the Plains, over the Mississippi River Valley, and into the Eastern US. This will keep moisture away to the north, allowing for dry, sunny, and warm conditions. High temperatures will range in the 80s and 90s from the Central Plains through the Eastern Valleys, with parts of the Southern US reaching into the lower 100s.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:45 PM PDT on May 24, 2012

... Wind Advisory in effect from 1 PM MST /1 PM PDT/ to 10 PM MST
/10 PM PDT/ Friday...

The National Weather Service in Phoenix has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 1 PM MST /1 PM PDT/ to 10 PM
MST /10 PM PDT/ Friday.

* Affected area... southwest and south central Arizona as well as the
lower deserts of southeastern California. This includes the greater
Phoenix area as well as the communities of Imperial... Gila
Bend... Casa Grande and Yuma.

* Timing... winds will steadily increase during the morning hours on
Friday and peak by early afternoon with strong gusty winds to
continue into the evening hours.

* Winds... south to southwest winds 20 to 35 mph gusting to near 50
mph especially in favored wind prone area or higher terrain
locations.

* Impacts... strong winds will kick up areas of blowing dust and sand
which will sharply lower visibility and create dangerous driving
